Ambulance at MIL's

I pick my son up after school and we have to drive past my stbx's mothers house along the way.


Today there was an ambulance in her driveway and my sister in law, my H, and another woman (maybe his gf, don't know, didn't even notice if she was young or old) were standing outside. My m-i-l is not in the best of health. She has had a few strokes and has heart problems.


Since my h does not want me in his life I don't know if I should call someone to find out if everything is okay.

I think it would be appropriate to call and ask. As long as you frame it as pure concern - who could be upset over that? I would not have DS do it because, should the news be bad, it would not be the best thing for him to hear it over the phone.

Again - just my two cents!

I think it would be appropriate for either you or your son to call. After all, you live in the same area and were legitimately driving by. It's not like you drove three hours out of your way to stalk him or his mom's house. I hope she's alright.

Hang in there momma! I'm too hoping things sting less over time.
