Miss my sons ex

[Summer1978]

I really miss her she's been gone for about 3 weeks after suddenly splitting with my son.

We were really close she lived with us for two years and worked with me for a while.

I just really miss having her around but don't want to bring her up all the time as it's not fair on my ds who in all fairness seems ok and just getting on with it.

I've just sat here and cried as I miss her so much I feel like such a dick.

ah thats sad and hard to deal with as you had no say in their relationship break up

maybe once things have settled you could meet up for a coffee

i dont think it should stop you being friends even if their not together

My Mum has kept in touch with one of my brothers' ex gf for 30 years now. So quite possible to stay in touch.

Could you meet her for a coffee? Your DS needn't know. 2 years is a long time - she's probably missing you too. Just make damn sure you don't mention her when your DS gets a new girlfriend!
I do sympathise - I really missed DD's former BF when they split. He was part of the furniture - you don't realise how well you get to know your kids' partners, and what a shock it is when they're suddenly not around.

Thanks everyone. I've spoke to her a couple of times but she's very tearful and it's upsetting her too much.
I don't know what's gone off and don't want to pry but she's definitely very upset.
She was just part of the family I hope one day we can meet and go for coffee like PP have suggested Just think it's a bit raw for everyone at the moment.
