Looking for advice
My husbands mother who he has been no contact with on and off for the last 20 years recently was diagnosed with cancer. He is currently no contact w her, but of course feels guilty now after hearing the news from a family member. He would prefer to stay no contact with her given their history together, but fears regretting it later. Without going into too much detail, he has definitely tried to reconcile the relationship several times over the last decade that we have been together. We have children together now and only our oldest knows her, but he has told our child that she is overseas so he doesn’t keep asking about her.
For those who have been in similar situations, what would you have liked from your spouse for support? How did you feel if you were no contact and your parent ended up passing?
