Gifts From the Ex’s Family [Divorce Issues] — singlemom @ 4:05 pm

Today I got 2 packages from Amazon.com. My first thought was “I didn’t order anything! Or have I lost my mind and started ordering stuff I don’t remember yet.”

I opened the packages and saw 2 gifts for the baby. A look at the card showed that it was from the ex’s stepfamily. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but I’m not sure they know the ex left me. I’ve only met them once and the ex isn’t even that close to them. So what’s the etiquitte?

Should I send the gifts back? If they knew the ex wasn’t in love with me anymore, would they have sent the gifts? Suddenly everything is so much more complicated than I thought it would be. What should be simple and happy now breaks my heart.
