Asked by karenpos 1 year ago in relationships

My ex husbands mother died. My ex is a deadbeat dad and was phyically abusive toward me during our marriage,and continues emotional abuse toward me and the kids. My brother and his family (my sister inlaw and two neices) attended my ex's mothers funeral; with out speaking to me first,and knowing the pain and suffering my ex caused and continues to cause my family. My brother did not have a relationship with my ex or his mother ,and I am very upset with my brother for showing any respect to my ex. Was my brother right in going to the funeral?

Yes! The grandmother of your children died! You should have gone with your children too! Your ex is the one with the problems, not his deceased mother. You should have paid your respects and put aside your animosity towards your ex.

Your brother and his family had their own reasons for attending the funeral, and maybe you need to respect that. What makes you so sure that they had no relationship with her or your ex that might make them want to pay some respect to her. Or maybe they knew that you weren't going to take her grandchildren, so they decided to attend instead. Anyway, it is over now and you can either spend your life being angry at anybody who says or does anything nice toward someone you show open hostility toward or get over it.
