Re: Can't believe no one told me alonewith2: Sometimes they forget that you once had A life....intertwined families. They seem to think that just because they don't want that life with you anymore, they can erase you from the rest of the family's lives. It's sad that you didn't get to show your proper respects. You still can find out where she was buried, etc, and go pay your respects to her in that way.
I found out a year later about one of my ex bf's dad passing away. I was upset about not knowing the news at the time so I could send my sympathy card. I always loved his parents and talked to them on many occasions long after he and I broke up. But I did find out where he was buried and went by myself one day to say my goodbyes.
Re: Can't believe no one told me jadedangel: [color=navy"> It does sound pretty frustrating ... I think too that they get so consumed in themselves .. they don't really take in the ability to care whether other people are affected. It seems so logical ... so why it doesn't make sense isn't exactly obvious to us.
Sorry about that --- it was surely a really crappy way to find that out.[/color">
Can't believe no one told me superwife: So I just found out that my ex's grandmother died... How did I find out? My daughter tells my mother!! When did this happen? I don't know. As per my daughter, "a few months ago", but her concept of time is warped (it could have been last week for all I know). She's almost 6, and she's not known to make up things like that. And it is quite possible that she did (she was not well and in her late 80's).
Call me naive, but i really can't beleive that no one told me about this. Forget about him, he's a useless prick. But his parents?? His other grandparents? His whole family is verty close (even the in-laws)- except him, but he communicates with them. I would imagine that he went to the funeral. Wouldn't he think that I would want to know?
Still, very disappointed in him...and his family.

Re: Can't believe no one told me wendieann: When I first met my STBXH younger brother, he was on his death bed... so I met him "alive", then 1/2 hour later he was gone. Very strange way to met the family for the first time!!! Especially at the funeral!
Anyhow, I know my STBXH's First wife was so upset no-one told her about it...
I guess some people don't realize we (the X's) still have feelings and care!
