Ex Mother In Laws Funeral
20 Answers
I posted a thread on xmas day to say that I received a phone call to say that my ex mother in law had died that morning.
Her funeral is on Monday. Even though me and my ex split up 7 yrs ago, I remained good friends with her mum despite the fact that we (me and my ex) never spoke to each other ever again. Her choice, not mine.
Im obviously attending the funeral but wondered if anyone else had had a similar experience of attending a funeral where a certain family member might not want you there?
I would be quiet willing...albeit reluctantly...to stay away out of respect for the grief of others, but other family members of my ex mother in law have said that I SHOULD go to pay my last respects to someone who was a big part of my life and who remained a close friend.
Felling a bit out of my depth with this one at the moment (and a little apprehensive).
Anyone else been in a similar situation and how did it pan out?
Thanks for any advice, etc.
(I plan to stay in the background as much as possible)
