Jks, I'm so sorry for the pain you're feeling. All the anger you feel about his family is similar to how I feel about my H's family. There's no OW involved (that I'm aware of) but they have dropped me like a hot potato after 15 years of telling me I was "family".

I'm trying to get over the anger and just put my relationship with them into the category of "acquaintances", now and in the future, whatever that may be.

Am I disappointed? Absolutely. But I have decided I gave way too much to them and have all kinds of expectations tied to those gifts. I need to stop that with them and really, everyone in my life. I need to stop giving to be "loved".

Love yourself and your kids. That's the only real unconditional love there is.
