It was our Lunar New Year yesterday. Thus as tradition we visit my in laws.
I know we are divorcing but I am still attending his family’s stuff. It’s got nothing to do with him. I get along well with his siblings.
It was held at his sister’s. Everyone was there. We caught up on the news.
They were all shocked that I’ve bought. I think they were hoping that we’d rekindled our love with that trip.
After the shock came the sadness. They said to me we’ve been sisters for so long there’s no reason to change that.
So if I have a party or dinner you’ll have to come.
I was touched. I think the hard part about divorce is the isolation.
It’s weird. The other night at my friend’s her husband looked like he was going to give me a hug. Usually I would accept it.
That night I held back as I’m a soon to be single mum now. I have to watch myself.

Nick’s family all stopped talking to me the day of the funeral. Just one brother and one sister still do. Out of 7. Whatever.

Oh that’s terrible. You’d think they’d give you support as you’re all losing Nick.
Must say his siblings are nice. Can’t say the same for his nieces and nephews. Well can’t say that as only some of them are bad..not all. In all a nice family.

I’m friends with three of my ex’s closest of friends still, though it did take a while to make sure they weren’t just acting as “double agents” for a while there. But now I feel that their friendship is sincere. It takes a while for some relationships to re-calibrate a bit. I have no children, so that makes the divide easier to establish. But you do, and they in turn will always have their cousins, aunts, and uncles. It sounds like you’ll figure out a way forward with all of them. – Marty
