On a side note, I just found out that my ex, to whom I was married for 20 years and divorced me in 1998, has dementia and my three daughters are trying to figure out what to do. I will not get involved at all. She is like an ex-girlfriend in my book and it would be insulting to my current wife of 21 years to be involved AT ALL.

Exactly. My brother passed away in January from Alzheimers. His ex-wife did not get involved. It wasn’t expected that she should.

Agreed. Divorce teaches men, no good deed goes unpunished.... no involvement with an ex once the kids are grown is the only way to be.

Why can't your ex-wife's subsequent husband "step up to the plate" and handle things?

Regards,

You should call your ex and ask her if she still remembers all the good times you had.
If she answers yes then tell her that by this time next year she won’t.

except that you would probably give help and guidance to the people who matter here, your daughters. Sometimes you have to be nice to the ex because they are related to the children.
