I think I mentioned that Half_son's wife left him last year to join a "throuple". She took the kids with her, so he only gets to see them for a few hours on Sundays . I'm not sure when their divorce is final. He's got a newish long-distance girlfriend and is planning to move to where she lives soon.

Today, Son_1 informed me that he filed for divorce from his wife. In this case, she moved into an apartment and he has the kids (two minor kids they share, one minor kid who got kicked out of her home and is staying there, and her oldest son [now 28 years old] whom she had before he met her). The 26 year old stepson lives separately, and is likely only going to maintain contact with his mother.

They had a strange relationship. They'd almost divorced several years ago but made up ... they did things like work separate shifts so they were hardly ever home and awake at the same time and have two separate "family chat" groups with the kids ... one with her included, one without her.
