My ex's wife died today. She had liver cancer.

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Jan 19 '24, 05:39

My ex asked me to tell the boys when they wake up (it's a snow day). I didn't argue, but it really should be my ex telling them.

I have so many conflicting feelings. Nicky (my ex's wife) was a terribly manipulative person who had no healthy boundaries. Plus, y'all know the whole catfishing story. She had a weird grooming relationship with my 17 year old son since he's was around 12 or so. Pretty much every fear I had about her becoming a parent to my kids came true. She made co-parenting with my ex a nightmare.

But I need to let all of that go, and be there for my kids.

I’m sorry for the kids and for your ex. Hopefully things will go well today for you. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 06:12
A maybe controversial opinion: it is ok to feel relief at someone's death. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 05:45 4
- Yep. -- nm - TWuG Jan 19, 07:34
- I definitely do, but I need to let that go for today at least. -- nm - Inigo Jan 19, 06:07 2
  - Today but not forever. It may be good to share your perspective with your kids about manipulative relationship signs as they become independent. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 07:18 1
    - That's a good idea. I'm also gonna have a honest discussion with them about what I saw as grooming. - Inigo Jan 19, 07:26
