My husband's ex attended his mother's funeral, which I thought was very sweet. They've been divorced for a long time but they have generally remained friendly and stayed in contact a few times a year, ever since. His siblings always liked her and had a good friendship during the time they were married. They were all pleased to see her again.

So, I guess it's not inappropriate in certain circumstances to attend your ex's family events. DH asked ahead of time if I minded if he invited her. Of course, I didn't.

This is the way it should be, especially if there were kids in the marriage.

Good for you for being a part of such a wise family

When I visited my son and his family at holidays, we all drove over to my ex's and new wife for family dinners. We were divorced about 30 yrs at that time. She is a great cook and a very pleasant lady. My son has since moved close to me so we don't do that anymore.

As little as possible. If there is something that involves children my spouse and I attend. There are no hard feelings.

My ex dil is the nicest, sweetest woman and a good mom to our grandkids. She makes sure to keep us in the loop and maintain the grandparent/grandchildren relationship. She sends us photos, texts us with updates and calls once in a while. I couldn't imagine our life without her. She has a true "It Takes A Village" mentality and her philosophy is the more love the better. My son divorced her. We didnt.

If I was in the same area, I would attend anything to which I was invited. I did fly back to be in his sister's wedding...

Oh h*ll no! I am so glad to be rid of that insane pack of haters, I finally got away and never looked back. Unless your nose immediately was up somewhere's when you met them or they thought you'd gift them materially, you were scum.
