Keds, I'm glad your reunion is developing. How sad for the rest of your family that they are chosing to miss out on the joy that this could bring to all there lives and to your family. I hope they will decide they want to develop a relationship with him too.

Thanks Kathy, their loss but it is having an affect on us and I feel terrible for bson. His bsiblings do want to have a relationship but can't figure out how - it's likely going to work out in the end. Hubby (bdad) is the one I'm most disappointed in but I can't let that affect our relationship. Anyway, I do think we're making progress, not as much as contact as I would like but it's early days and we are both soooo busy.

I Don't know if I have suggested this before......in the early days of my reunion when the two half siblings were feeling a bit put out yet bson really wanted to make good relationships with both, I would make sure I dropped little bits of news, (like...what he was up to) into the conversations and little by little they sort of got used to him being a part of my life, and in turn, started to think of him as belonging to me...and then to us.
It wasn't pointed at anyone - just tit-bits put out there for whoever was interested. Well worth a try in all fractured family relationships.

Regards
Ann

Thanks Ann, I actually was doing that for awhile and they asked me to stop but, it's 6 months later so I think I'll try again. Now they're both finished school for the year, there is a little less stress in their lives so it might be a better time. I'll try it again, that's all I can do. Thanks!

Keds, does your DH say why he doesn't want to know your DS?
