NLW, I’m so sorry to hear that your kids were excluded from such an important “event”. You might be right about your xh’s motivations. As for the family members… you just don’t know what he told them and what they thought. Maybe they didn’t think at all... Maybe they thought that xh would handle it on his own. But, he didn’t. Such an @ss.
Hang in there. Your kids have a great Mom. As for xh and his family… Whatever they did will come back to haunt them. I believe in universe returning back what you send in there… Sorry for the messy post.
