Definitely not, it super pissed my ex starts up Facebook chats with my mum every now and again and met her for coffee a few years ago. I don’t talk to either of them, and am annoyed to no end about this. It’s so disrespectful. He has moved on, I have moved on and it was a bad end with no contact since. They think it’s innocent but when their topic is me I’m not happy

Maybe it is innocent? Maybe they felt like they were friendly while you were together and didn't see why it should totally end because the relationship did?

Only with my ex MIL. She’s a doting grandmother to our two boys. Actually sees them more than he does...

ANSWER

My ex MIL is one of my best friends. Im driving 700km to visit her in the next few days. She has taken on my new baby as one of her own grandchildren and I adore her. Her mother is really getting in now, and I dread her passing almost every day, because I'm also still close to her and love her dearly. My ex is a fuckwit and my kids often refuse to speak with or see him..

Yes- In fact my new partner and I have spent Christmas with my daughter's grandparents, even though her Dad wasn't there.
We have a new baby, and baby will grow up with 3 sets of grandparents, including my exes parents as Grandma and Grandpa.
It isn't my daughters fault, nor her grandparents fault that her dad isn't a decent human.

Havn't heard anything from his side for years now. Personally i couldn't care less, my son has learnt not to expect anything. I made a facebook page for him when he was younger in tag him in photos i take of him so they can see it.

Sure do! Love my ex mother & father in law dearly.
Also the ex sister in law is a very much loved person. Even my now hubby has been welcomed with open arms as has our son. He refers to them as nan & pop and Aunty.
We see them so much more than my ex husband

I was sending photos and making regular visits and making phone calls, but I realised I was the one making all the effort for my kids to see that side of their family. I gradually reduced the amount of effort to see if they would pick up the slack and they never did. It's been 2 years now since I last made contact. Their grandmother was in the supermarket the other day and just said "hi" as she walked past me, didn't even look at the kids or anything. But oh well, it's their loss. Neither of my kids knows anyone on that side of their family anymore

ANSWER

Yes as he doesn't keep the communication open for her and she deserves that as most are in NZ, UK or Spain.

ANSWER

I was friendly for about 4 years then as my kids got old enough to organise their own contact I stopped communicating with them. They are a very toxic family and I couldn't wait to be done with them.

Yes, but WHOLEY AND SOLEY for the sake of my son.
I fucken hate that piece of shit abusive slime bag and all of his enabler relations who said it was ok to hit me and treat me like shit. Not one of them stepped up and said, hey - you can't treat her that way. Fucken useless the lot of them. Thankfully I live thousands on klms away and rarely have to deal with any of their shit.
Fucking dogs.

Exactly this.

ANSWER

Nope. Apparently I am no longer on speaking terms with any of them. Dunno why when I said to each and every person if they want to see or speak to the kids call/text *this* number. Ah well. Their loss :)

No, it doesn't seem right to creep around his life by being involved with his family.

Lol I creep around my exes life all the time, we have kids, we on good terms, probably once or twice a year I stay overnight on the couch when the kids are there and he subjects me to shit movies we used to think were funny when we were together.
I'm creepy like that you see 😂 😂 😂

I am still on good terms with some but I also spend quality time with ex sister as we're good friends and were before the split. My 3 children love that it's like that because they get to spend quality time with their cousins. They would if I didn't catch up with my friend because their dad lives in a different state as he moved away.

Yes, we have kids so I still have contact with them. They are overseas so its only texts. I try to maintain a good relationship with them as well as my ex for the sake of my kids. He cheated and since our split cheated on his affair partner and now has a new gf... his Mum is not happy with him!

ANSWER

Ex’s only family was his mother and she disliked me greatly so nope. No need for us to keep in touch as ex and I had no kids together.

My parents split when my sister and I were young and even though my father became absent for most of my life thereafter my mum maintained a relationship with his side of the family for our sake and I’m forever grateful that she was so selfless and encouraged that.!

Thanks for this! Hope my girls grow up and feel the same way.

ANSWER

Yeah our split was really hard for everyone

We were high school sweethearts and our mums have been best friends since we were babies.

Our lives were so intertwined.
It made our split very hard, but good in that there was no choice to not only remain amicable but learn to be friends again really really fast.

His mum is a second mum to me.
