Her siblings and mother were a little off the chart, but her dad was a genuine article. When he died several years ago, I lost my best friend. <br/><br/>The odd thing was, that when my wife and I split, her family supported me. For a couple of years, her contact with her family was thru me. <br/><br/>Of course, we had kids, and her family were still aunts, uncles and cousins, so contact with them is inevitable, but it's nice to know that you have a relationship with them without it being dependent on the ex.<br/><br/>You are allowed to contact your ex's mom if you guys had a friendship. Be honest with her about why you are contacting her, maybe she misses you being around as well. You can have that without involving the ex.

You are allowed to contact your ex’s mom if you guys had a friendship. Be honest with her about why you are contacting her, maybe she misses you being around as well. You can have that without involving the ex.

I was really serious with my last two boyfriends and therefore went into meeting their families as though I were meeting future in-laws. Things didn't work out with either, unfortunately, and I do kind of miss the comfort I felt with their families. I can empathize, as well.

I love my ex-boyfriend's family. I still get to see them though, since I have remained pretty good friends with my ex. I guess I'm lucky in that sense. Cheer up! I just went through a few moody days myself. :-) I know exactly how you feel… I love my ex-boyfriend’s family. I still get to see them though, since I have remained pretty good friends with my ex.
