tl2, sorry to hear about your ex-fil. Hope you'll have a nice visit with him as well as with your parents.
Yes, it is a strange landscape, post-D, isn't it? What do you do with (ex) relatives who are collateral damage?
I am (was?) quite close to my ex-fil as well as he was the one who helped the X and me get this far. And he loves my kid, so how do you dislike someone who loves your kid? And my niece and nephew from the X's side, I miss them too.
And though I refer to him as my ex-fil, face to face, I still call him 'dad' because anything else sounds awkward.
Good that you can still visit your ex-ILs. Me, I am quite the exile now.
You can call me Dory/ Grl.
As a wise fish once sang,"Just keep swimming!"
It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
