I agree that is awful. An ex a few years back had 2 much younger sisters (half sisters, technically). They LOVED me. My boyfriend loved his little sisters too. But when we broke up, I stopped by his house to give back a few things like his class ring, and they wanted to know why I hadn't been around. His mom told me that she'd tried to explain it to them, but that they just weren't getting it. His family was honestly the worst part about breaking up: they were like my own family.
Two years later his parents asked me to help coach the older one's soccer team, so it was great to get re-involved, but it just wasn't like it was before.
