How will his parent's passing affect my MLCer?

[AntoniaB]

I just wanted to comment on how you seemed to feel angry at yourself for wondering "at a time like this" about how this will affect the DBing process or the current rel. with your XH, and I wanted to say, how could you NOT be wondering? Everything that happens external to the two of you may affect things. Your wondering is natural and expected and your heart is in the right place. Do not doubt that for a second.
