Hi all.
I divorced 4 years ago but have always maintained a good relationship with my ex mother-in-law and in fact my ex husband. My ex mother-in-law had been in hospital poorly for a week and last weekend I took my son (her grandson) who is 14 years old to see her.
Had a phone call at midnight last night from my ex to say that she'd passed away. I feel absolutely devastated. I am with someone else these days and all he could say was ' She was elderly, she'd had a good life and c'mon dry your eyes'. In a about 2 hours time I shall have to tell my son ( wasn't home to tell him last night ) and I'm dreading that and on top of it all my ex is with someone else these days too but I know she can be a snake in the grass, is stifling my ex already by 'helping him' but I cant help feel she's looking and rubbing her hands of what's in it for her and I just want to be there for him, not for her to be.
Please help, I feel angry, jealous and cant stop crying. My ex has to sort out the first stages today obviously but I can't help but think of him, wondering how he's getting on and wondering how nosey his partner is being. I cant help but feel she's in it for herself and not him and obviously he's in a vulnerable position.
I am heartbroken, cant concentrate on a thing, thinking of everything my ex has to do and am beside myself with worry.
Please help...x
