Do you have any contact with the children? They were very yound when dad married you, so does he ever see them and support them at all? If so, I think he should send cards/presents; if not, they probably won't have a clue who he is.

Yes. I think you should have been mentioned on a joint card from their Dad.

If he didn't want that, then I think sending one from yourself would have been wise if he agreed.

It's the children I feel desperately sorry for.

I'm only finding out now because I don't speak to her. We moved abroad and he wasn't seeing the kids, he has a drug problem and we had four more kids I was focused on. She's messaged me the last few months and he's finally confessed he's had a drug problem the whole time and is in rehab, I told her a few days ago because she keeps messaging me having a go about how poorly her kids have been treated
