My daughter and her family are coming here to attend a family reunion with my ex and his new wife. She's not new, actually, been married for several years now. I was talking to my daughter about it today, because daughter mentioned she'd be staying here with me at nights just so she can escape the in-laws.
The ex's mother and sister were always very cold to me, though if they'd visit, they'd take over in my kitchen like I wasn't there, not engaging in conversation with me, etc., and often saying hurtful things. I asked my daughter how Pam, the new wife, handles this. She said..."Oh, she's pretty rude!" She threw a whole glass of ice water on the sister while sister was complaining! I was floored to hear of this!
Hey, I was a wimp when I was married to him!
