Thanks Sandi for your quick reply!

His S was living with the mother when we got married. We never lived together as family. He was always living in another state, and we would visit every once in a while. He was in HS when we married. We did got along fine however when we were together. I really don't know what H has told him. He might have told him MJ and I are getting a D and I want you to meet ow. I don't think he told him the truth. I found ow so MJ and I are getting D.

On that note...
I always wonder what he has told his side of the family. His mom, brothers and sisters, and I always got along. As close as we could be for not living by each other. Not one of them has tried to contact me to ask what is going on. So I wonder if he has put me in a negative light. I don't think he would have told them the truth that the ow came before the D. Or if he has told them there is ow because we were getting a D anyway. Does anyone understand what I'm trying to say? It just makes me sad to think that they are just going on what he has told them. I have never said anything because of the old adage of blood being thicker than water.
Just makes me sad that they haven't tried to make contact or even ask how I'm doing. His mom is 85 yrs old, and I wouldn't want to tell her at her age what's really going on.

Have any of you gone through a similar situation?

MJ
