Val, sorry for the late reply.

My W and her paternal grandfather were close.

I'll be honest, I forgot most of the convo because it all just seemed sceipt and when I showed up to the viewing, not only was her family receptive to my being there, she was actually glad I came.

That being said, her attitude towards me has definitely changed. She's more like the woman I remember and not this venom spewing person I had to deal with the year prior. Even during easter she was highly cordial and we had a great convo about family and things, just like the conversations we would have when we were together. I'm not reading into it fully, but I did notice the change. Time will tell, right?
