Heavy those are good questions. It can only be answered on a case by case situation. Some keep exs family very close others dont. It depends on the ex. A divorce destroys many things. My ex FIL died last year. I loved him. He was like a father. I heard of his death via a text my daughter sent me the day of his wake. I did not attend. My ex never communicated. So in my case im a former family member.

Hope you are taking good care of yourself
