Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
Ok, my ex has a brother in the midst of divorce, and she and I converse. My mother-in-law sent me a Christmas card, and I called her to thank her for thinking of me. Asked her a few questions about the ex (her son) and said it's probably hard for both of us, but women seem to be stronger. She commented that she knows I will get by, as for her son, he's going to struggle for a while. She was happy I called.
I didn't mention I talk to her other sons soon to be ex, and am hoping to fix her up with someone.
The guilt set in - especially when my male friend showed up for lunch.
The hard part is, I'm the only daughter-in-law to actually sit with her, listen to her heart-ache and understand her. And, now I divorced her son.
Not sure where to go.

She is feeling a loss, too. My parents, esp my Dad, are sad we broke up. But, well, you had a role as a DIL and you did it well..nothing says you have to stop being your ex MIL's friend any more than you have to stop talking to her.
Situations are only as difficult/dramatic as they are made to be.
If you are comfortable and it works, I don't see harm in maintaining the relationship as long as it is healthy for both of you.
By the way, I grew up outside Milwaukee! I now live overseas!
