My former (TBM) mother-in-law passed away at 102 last month.
I have been divorced from her (TBM) narcissistic cheater son for over 30 years.
(Unhappily married to the ex for 18 yrs.).
He would quit jobs when he tired of them or get fired…
and get involved in MLMs and other get rich quick schemes
while leaving his children in Section 8 housing receiving government assistance.
Former Mother-In-law just looked the other way.
Her funeral was lavish & over the top with a casket
trimmed in gold-as told by my 3 grown kids.
My children/her grandchildren attended the funeral
and Wake with many of their cousins who could make
the journey back to Utah.
The ornate pink colored paper program
embellished with gold & roses with pictures
of the mother-in-law’s life was handed out to
all who came to say good-by to the Matriarch.
The paper handout program also listed the woman’s
children and grandchildren.
Alongside the ‘children’s names’ was listed
their ‘spouse’. Since the mother-in-law’s son (my ex)
was married four times- His sister in charge
only listed the ‘current spouse’.
The ex’s children are my children.
I am the only mother. The current wife is
listed as if she is their mother. Side note
is none of her own children/grandchildren are listed.
It is not really a big deal and I have been silent
about the snub. But it was shared on
Facebook and Instagram for all who cared to see.
I just feel snubbed and canceled.
Whenever anyone asked if I knew the woman:
I respond: Well, we were friends once… a long time ago.
I think the hurt I feel is from realizing
that whenever she spoke (to me) with her
plastered smile-it was all fake.
