You Would Think I Would Get Over It By Now

My ex left me and my boys to move to Europe to work, in 2004.  What he failed to do at that time was to make sure that he had a job to go to.  It turns out he is an alcoholic.  He has been very sporatic in keeping in touch with his 2 sons, my sons.  He has moved around and been in and out of the hospital.  He currently is in rehab, doing a 6 month therapy.  Atleast that is what he tells me.  He could not even be bothered to send a Christmas card to them.  But he did manage to dress up as Santa for his girlfriends 2 sons.  That hurts me so much for them.
