Our two kids, their two kids, parents, other family.  She lives in Texas now, on her third or fourth marriage.  My ex never did remarry (he is also bi - as I said in another post today).  Her ex is on his 3rd marriage.

Oh, and no, she never did say she was sorry. It's like I never really knew who she was...
