[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 689328, member: 19905"] No, you are far from the only parent. And no, my husband has no other children. I think that is why he has such a hard time moving on. You're right - he has to grieve his child over and over each time he is pushed aside again. I also understand how even thinking about your son brings up such emotional turmoil - even after six years, step child does the same to me. I never even say the name if it can be helped. It is easier to pretend non-existence, but that is interrupted often with moments of "teasing" my husband into believing this time will be different. I wish step child would just shut the door completely and let him grieve the loss so that he could move on if there is never going to be a true desire to include my husband or allow him to be part of his grandchild's life.
