I got a Christmas card from my father…well, correction I got a Christmas card from my father's wife, but she signed his name.
I'm a bit lost on this one. I don't really know how I feel, other than…confused.

Mum took it worse, not so much the getting of the card, or so she says.
At first I was a little perturbed because I thought they didn't actually know where we lived, and so had 'looked us up' which Mum was insisting they couldn't have done because neither of them knows that much about computers. Then I found out they actually had our current address so I was less perturbed because that didn't mean they were being sneaky and underhanded, as they had done when we lived in the same country as us, somehow finding out our unlisted phone number and so on.

I think it's that I want to believe that they're being nice, for once, that they genuinely want to mend the fences, but we've been hurt before…
