I hope that we can keep our relationship in the same way you've kept yours with your son's grandmother. I'm sure she appreciated that you reached out. I think sometimes when there aren't children involved people assume that the breaks are easier. I don't think they are. I really, really hope not.

Perhaps she still sees you as a friend, or even as family, and hopes you do, too. And if you want to stay friends as well, there's nothing wrong or disloyal to your brother in that. When my son's dad and I split up, I called his mother to let her know that I would never keep her grandson away from her, and that I hoped we could still be friends, although I'd understand if she didn't want to or felt that she couldn't. We had an excellent relationship for many years after that; in fact, just a few years ago, she loaned me the money to have my transmission replaced when it died suddenly. Not all ties have to end just because one relationship does.

What great reminders. <br /><br />I've thought of my family a lot as I've gone through my various breakups and new relationships, feeling bad about dragging them through bonding and unbonding somewhat "willy nilly" for my sake. They've always been wonderful about it, but I know it's not easy for them. <br /><br />Thanks for writing this and thank you for sharing it with us.

It is kind of hard to see how your family still likes them although you don't. I often miss my ex-boyfriend's family who have always been very kind to me. We were together for a long time and I lkied them a lot! But it felt strange to want to meet them again so I didn't...<br /><br />The broken glass and the Jewish tradition are a nice reminder that the vows we do connect us forever, even if we stop liking each other. Lieflines move closer, connect and move away again, but still the knot we tied remains in us and forms who we are...Leneleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182680654861239740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318046134864811272.post-39511885820971185752015-03-16T20:41:09.687-04:002015-03-16T20:41:09.687-04:00Thanks Sylvie.
