Are you of the practice of still continuing to visit or attend family functions of your EX or your Ex-Spouse's family (especially if you have a child/children with your Ex) considering you still maintain a healthy/friendly relationship with their family and they invite you?
If so, do you still attend these events or go visit, if your EX has moved on to another relationship or has gotten re-married? If so, is the new spouse or significant other receptive of you?
My xMIL and I are friends. We talk on the phone at least once a month, she comes to my house occasionally, and I've been to hers. Her son has remarried and so have I. Our kids are 4 and 7. I don't usually go to the family events, although I've been invited, out of respect for the new wife, who is a very sweet woman.
My xH cut off all contact with my family when we divorced.
My parents divorced when I was a teenager. My father's mother sided with my mom (she thought my dad was being a big fat idiot and told him so), and over my dad's objection they stayed very close. Grandma told dad's next wife that she would be a great MIL to her but wasn't giving up my mom. Mom didn't go to family events at Grandma's unless Dad wasn't going to be there. Grandma is always invited to Mom's holiday dinners, and her oldest son comes sometimes too.
My ex-stepson invited me to take part in his wedding. This past summer we spent the afternoon with my x-H and his wife with our grown children (and our children) along with the grandchildren that we are all grandparents for. We are cordial if not friendly with the x- and his wife. We were divorced 21 years ago - I can handle spending an afternoon together.

No, I have as little to do with my ex as I can and nothing to do with his family.

I did and still do. But I've known them for over 50 years. My ex passed away in 1982 and he...and "new spouse"...didn't attend any get togethers that I did. We had four kids that needed to be close to their dad's family and I was all for that. We are all still good friends to this day and I attended a big family reunion last year. I'll go to the next one too.
