Just heard some sad news about my ex-MIL. (She was a WAW when my ex was a teenager, after we were married I was instrumental in bringing about a reconciliation between my ex and her. I don't agree with how she went about leaving her marriage but her husband would have been difficult to live with.) Anyway, my son tells me she had knee replacement surgery last week, got an abscess from the spinal anesthesia and is now having neurosurgery. She has Parkinsons and is in her early 80's now I think. This does not sound good at all.
When she first left, none of the three boys in the family had any contact with her (the girls stayed in touch). My ex reconciled with her in his twenties, one brother waited until his 40's, and one brother in his 60's still has never spoken to her to the best of my knowledge. Very sad.
