[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 641038, member: 13558"] My ex was a menopause baby from a very old fashioned mother and father. When I chose to get a divorce they were outraged and cut off all ties with me and their two grands. They were never close to start with. Years later ex had remarried and his brother called asking if I knew how to get in touch with ex, his mother was in a nursing home not expected to be here much longer and was asking for him. At this point ex had not contacted his kids for years. I contacted his new mother-in-law and gave her the message. I heard nothing more from anyone and years later I found out the mother had passed about a month later. Not one person, even their father, called to let my children know. I made sure the new mother-in-law had my contact info. That was a turning point for me, I felt as if my children were being punished for my choices. About three years ago I wondered what I would say if and when (and I know they will) some of his relatives, or him, contact me to get in touch with my children. At least your ex's family thinks of you [/QUOTE]
