Today was grandma-in-law's ex-husband's funeral. This was her 3rd ex, & they were divorced 2 years before I met, Nick
Nick worked for him still, & he was a great guy. We rented our 1st apt from him and his new wife (whom is also a very nice).
W went to his funeral, as did my MIL & SIL (both didn't like him, & probably only went thinking they'd be in the will), & my GIL (who went to say her goodbyes).
We stayed for the hour service, then left after that, but said our condolences to Carly, his widow. She was obviously upset, what with it being her husbands funeral, but she smiled when she saw me & my husband, & we gave her a hug each, & said how sorry we were.
When we left, however, his neice followed us out, & started screaming in the parkinglot at my husbands grandma about how innappropriate it was for us to be there, & it was a knife in the back to the whole family.
Should we not have gone?
