Hi everyone
I wasn't quite sure where to put this one. I just need to get it out and maybe get some answers.
I don't think anyone else knows it yet but my husband was told that his sister is currently separating from her husband and it will probably lead to a divorce so it is pretty serious. Even though it is not my own relationship I am still heart broken and I don't know what to say or do. I feel so disappointed.
I seek experience from others who either are divorced or have someone in the family who are. What did you do about uncle/aunt relations? My daughters see her husband as their uncle. Could that continue? I mean, he is still the father of their cousins. I once completely lost contact with an uncle after a divorce. I haven't seen or heard from him since and it makes me sad to think if that is going to happen to my children.
And how about birthday invitations? Do we invite all of them or only my sister-in-law and my nieces? They don't hate each other as far as I understand.
Is there anything we can do for their children? I was thinking maybe invite them over once in a while to get away from the changes at home.
I'm still thinking they're going to call us and say it is a joke, it is so unrealistic! And it feels so terrible to keep this alone because we don't know whether or not the rest of the family knows anything.
