Question for you divorced baws

I don’t see the need unless you’re real tight with brothanlaw

Family? No. Have been divorced 7 years now. The only time I every speak to them is when they happen to be there when picking up the kids. Forget them. They aren't your family.

I was very close w MIL. One of the worst parts of divorce was changing that relationship. I send her pics of the kids at times and we text every once in a while. Lot of moving parts with that question and really depends on the inner workings of multiple relationships.

I have selective communication with some of the ex's family. I am still close with her dad but that is about it. If I run into any of them I am cordial but that is about it. She and I have not spoken since the divorce.

Not only no, but hell no. The ex and her family are crazy. It is so insane that the custody fight records are all sealed. I fricking won.

You trynna plug ya old SIL to get back at your old lady playing Jody’s passion pole?

So, for those of you who have been divorced, do you still keep in touch with the family of your ex?

Hell No! Didn't like them when I was married to their spawn of Satan.

depends on the divorce. If it ended UGLY then I'd probably leave them alone

I would keep in contact if it was an amicable split and you're tight with them...

I LOVE my in-laws. Cannot fathom not being in their lives...especially my young niece

Nope, clean break.

I think it depends upon, among other things, how long the marriage lasted and the family dynamics.

My parents divorced when I was 22 (were married 23 years). My dad's side of the family was large and relatively younger, my mom's side was smaller and older.

My mom has remained very close to my dad's family. In fact, my grandfather (dad's dad) actually walked my mom down the aisle for mu mom's second wedding (my mom's dad had passed by this point).

I think it also should be said that my dad doesn't have a particularly close relationship with his family. After the divorce, he moved a few hours away and got remarried to a lady that had kids. Even 20 years later, my mom definetly spends more time around my dad's family, then my dad does around his own family.

It's weird, yeah, and some outsiders when they see it have some quesetions. But it is what it is. As my grandfather has told me, my dad being a dumbass doesn't change how he feels about my mom (his daughter in law).
