My boys are 5 and 7...I just recently talked about some feelings with our 7 year old's first mom, because we were trying to sort through some things...
I've never talked about feelings with my 5 year olds firstmom...I am privy to a few things because her mom has said some things over the years, but because we don't want to invade C's privacy, we keep it to a minimum...
I do have to say, that my relationship with C has bloomed lately to a more comfortable level...but it has taken 5 years. She JUST started calling our house this past fall...And I have to attribute our relationship to email, because I think it gave us the opportunity to get comfortable with each other without being "right there" in person or on the phone...Phone calls are hard for her - she's very shy. Anyway, it took all this time to find our footing - but it's been totally worth it...
I think you all are doing a great job - and keep plugging away at it...Maybe things will change for you in the future!
