A couple days ago, I was saddened to learn my recently-ex father in law suddenly passed away. We had been prepared for my ex mother in law to pass soon, as she's an advanced stage COPD survivor for 10 years. But nope, it was someone we weren't steeled for.

He had been a part of my life for over 9 years and he was family to me, so I'm understandably processing my grief. I am very grateful for the love from my kitty Belle and the understanding from my ex, who is going through his own path and who I'm trying to be there in turn.

But what surprised me was my hyper-religious parents' response. When I called them to tell them, they were very harsh with no kind words at all. And then they were supposed to call me as soon as they got home, but instead sent a lame text at midnight that part of their phones weren't working. And yesterday, Mom was being clueless. The thing was, I really wanted to bond with my dad on this, as he lost his dad before his mom, but alas that didn't happen.

Long story short, I now am very disappointed in my family not being there *at all* in my time of need, and so grateful for my chosen family.

Active Constructive Responding 1/10
Some conversations feel like walking through dense fog—tedious, uninspiring, far from what you want to talk about. Family gatherings often bring exactly that feeling. 🎄
