[UPDATE] Explaining the last post · 1:47am May 14th, 2020
Thank you, everyone, that checked in with my previous post. I was going to keep this private, but it's hitting me harder than I thought it would and I felt the need to vent some of the emotion out so it doesn't eat a hole in my heart.
Apparently, I had much more fond feelings for my mother-in-law than I thought I did.
Long time readers will know I divorced back in 2015. At the time I had nothing but contempt for my in-laws. All I saw was a bunch of people that were feeding my (now ex-) wife lies about me.
In the time since, however, my mother-in-law has been the one person who I could always count on to be the level head in the situation. She took care of my daughter, she kept my ex-wife from going off the deep end into the "we must all hate [me]!" She's been special and helpful and now...
...now she's dying.
I got the text from my ex-wife that our daughter was acting out, oh, and grandma's going into hospice. My ex-wife has a habit of burying the lead with me. So my mother-in-law was diagnosed with brain cancer late last year, then her colon started failing this year. She went to the hospital for surgery and after she came out of it she was officially starting to experience failure of the everything. So now she's in at-home hospice and my daughter's behavior in acting out makes sense. She's going to miss her grandma.
I'm finding I'm sincerely regretting not being able to say a proper goodbye to her. She's managed to somehow, just by being a nice and caring person, make herself someone I will truly miss. I don't think I'll ever love her as a mother, but I certainly love her as my daughter's grandma.
I'm sorry for that please be strong my good sir
I'm very sorry to hear that, my condolences. If you ever need an ear, you know where to find me.
My sincerest condolences.
🤗
I'm so very sorry. And I'm truly sorry that you can't give a proper goodbye.
My condolences to you, for the passing of someone dear to your heart.

Okay, both of you stop, this isn't the place for this. While it's true that this is one of my "refuge" places where I'll go to be properly gendered after a day on the phones of being misgendered, it's not a place I want to see other people fighting over it.
