Dear Queenie,
My ex-husband got married and now he has four stepchildren with his new wife. When he came to visit the son he had with me when we were married I saw that he got all his stepchildren’s names tattooed on his arm, but our son’s name isn’t there.
Queenie, is this right? His stepchildren but not his own biological son?—Angry mother
Dear Mother,
No, it is not right, but his new wife’s influence may have had something to do with the omission.
Talk to him about it. Perhaps you can convince him to add your son’s name to his tattoos, perhaps on another – equally visible – part of his body.
