My ex-wife has two sons who I helped raise from preteen years to their early 20's. Not only did their dad criticize me (as you would expect a jealous person to do) but their mom (my now "ex") also relentlessly criticized my interaction with her two sons. Well, now that we are divorced and both "boys" are young men they have both separately told me that I was a good step dad to them and they regret what their mom said about me. How can she ever get the egg off her face?

Come on, John! After MONTHS of Hillary-hunting, you ask THIS question and don't explain to us, within the question, that you are speaking about your WIFE?
My hope was that you had a new tack for us to use in our efforts to BASH Shrillary. Well, at least this effort earns me a couple points.

Just let it go if the sons told you that you are a good step dad then that's all that matters. But if you need her to hear this then ask the boys to tell their mom how they feel. I don't think it would be good. It would more than likely cause more problems but you can go for it. Be happy the boys felt the need to tell you , you were a good step dad.

She can't. I've had the same experience with my ex's daughter.
It took some time for bitter feelings to get out of the way, but now, ten years later, she calls me everyday and is much closer to me than she is to her dad.
And, he sits seething, wondering why.
The good thing about step-kids is that they are still your step-kids, forever.
EDIT: Mista was so disappointed, John.
And, I know exactly how he felt. I saw your question and was like, "Oh, good! My daily load of crap on Hillary!"

Hey John, how about you show some class like you are apparently boasting you did during your marriage and realize that these kids come from a troubled family and will hold resentment against both of their biological parents for the rest of their lives for breaking the family apart.
There is more to the whole issue than just how you treated them. Don't act smug now.

don't worry about her. if she stayed married to you for that long and observed that her children were happy and well taken care of then she is just jealous or upset right now and let her get over it on her own. you know what kinda (step) dad you were and they have confirmed it. or if you want her to know how wrong she is have them say it to you in front of her- but that just might get her blood boiling even more. good luck.

She can't get the egg off her face... she is your EX wife now... Just continue to be friends with your step sons... and enjoy that relationship with them.

i think that she is acting out of jealousy. she must regret that you are moving on and that her sons love you so much and that they consider you to be a parent just as much as her. i doubt that the egg will ever be fully off her face.

As long as there are no hard feelings between you and the boys, it doesn't matter. She's obviously got a grudge she's not willing to let go of.

Just keep being a good dad and stop worrying about breakfast!

She does not have egg on her face. The boys just grew up with that feeling. It sounds to me like you are really full of yourself hearing this. Maybe you need to wash your face.
