My ExW/W grandfather (her fathers father) passed away today. While I myself was not terribly close to him as he lived in PR mostly, it is sad for me as I still view it as family. What hurt me was a text she sent me about it.
"My grandpa passed away, I have no other details at the moment. S helps me cope well. No need to call or anything thanks in advance"
It stung to read that. So cold and distant. I had half a mind to tell her how hurtful she had put it.
It took me an hour to respond with "I'm sorry to hear this and for your loss. Please accept my condolences and extend them to your family."
I really wanted to call to offer support, but figured I'll wait to call (which I plan on doing friday evening) and perhaps send a sympathy card to her family.
I just can't fathom that she would say something like that. Well regardless, I will pay my respects in whatever way I can. Just..hurt a little you know?
