So I just found out my ex-MIL is dying

[Eurobabe]

I feel bad for my ex-husband, and of course for my children. Grandma T. was never a very happy person, in fact she spent most of her life making my ex feel guilty, and putting him through the ringer. She was the most judgmental, anxiety-ridden creature ever. I turned the other cheek many times, but she was pretty nasty to me for "ruining her son's life." Eventually I just avoided her when we had graduations, etc. But this morning I sit and cry for someone who is suffering, even though I have had nothing to do with her for over 20 years. (Ex ans I were divorced when my kids were just toddlers)

She has lung cancer, and two aneurysms, one in heart and the other in kidney. Looks like her days are limited. I hope she passes quickly and without much pain, I don't want to see her linger and cause my ex-husband misery. And I hope my daughters can make peace with what is about to happen.

That's all.

Peace - 48%er

1. You are a good-hearted person, 48%er.

And for your ex-MIL, I too hope her passing is peaceful, and that your ex and your daughters make it through okay.

2. Wish you well as you go through this.

Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on your feelings. Be strong for the girls as I'm sure you will.:hug:

3. My dear 48percenter...

Aneurysms tend to go quickly...

I think she will lose consciousness, and then it'll be over...

I'm so sorry...

I hope too that your ex-husband and your daughters will cope with this loss...

And I hope the same for you...

:hug:

4. She was a part of your life

and still is part of your life through your children. Maybe not on a daily basis but still. Your pain is understable and shows you are a good hearted person.

May she make her last trip in peace.

6. Yeah , I have been in a funky mood all day

I am most upset for my daughters that they are losing their grandmother, although they weren't as close to her as they are to my mom -- it's still a loss. And I feel badly for my ex-husband. :cry:

German class was awful, and I was just not in the mood for it today. I think I will crawl in my hole now. **sigh**
