Do you keep in touch with your former inlaws?

I have always been friendly with my former husband's family. We stay in touch on Facebook and there have been phone calls over the many years since our marriage ended. I liked some of his relatives better than I liked him!
Do you keep in touch or have you burned all your bridges?

I keep in touch with my ex-partner's Mum. That's mainly for the sake of my youngest son though. His dad doesn't really care about him but I take him over to see his Nanny when I can. I get on with her, and always have. She knew what things were like in my relationship with her son. I did wonder whether things would be awkward with her but they aren't.

@AbbyGreenhill Yes, that's true. I don't think I'd have kept in touch otherwise, although I might and I wouldn't deliberately not see her. We live in the same small town so I'd still say hello when I saw her. I'm nice like that :D

That's good for your son to do that. When kids are involved it's a special circumstance.

Since I dont keep in touch with any exs whatsoever, I obviously would not be in touch with any of their families.

I don't keep in touch with my x but I do keep casual contact with his brother and an x sister in law. How many x's do you have?

@AbbyGreenhill That really does help, the friendly divorce. If things get ugly usually the families have to take sides and we all know where that will lead.

Yes, if there are children for sure. thankfully we didn't have kids and we had a very friendly divorce.

@BelleStarr I think some of his relatives didn't like him too much to begin with and that helped!

I had a lousy husband and his mother was the cheapest person I ever met in my life. She was a spiteful old lady.
