To ask if you class your ex as family?

[Phoebe22]

I mean if you have children with him, do you class them as family? Just curious

No, why?

No.
My son does though as he's his dad.

No , he is my ex husband not my family.

No definitely not

Not him but his family I do.

No.

No, Not him, He's a dick.
I still class his Mum and Gran as family though.

Yes. We share a daughter and we are her closest family; her parents. Ergo, we are a family because of her and for her. A modern family.

Unfortunately yes.

No, but I still class his parents etc as family.

I'm feeling a little unsettled as my son who lives with me is meant to be going to his dad's tomorrow. With the current situation I'm not sure this will be safe as my son has asthma. My son and I are well thankfully but I'm afraid he may catch this or bring it back into my house when he returns. Can anyone give me advice on whether I should let him go to his dad's?

No. Ex-ILs said I would always be a daughter to them and then behaved terribly towards me. The relationship has never recovered from that.

Yes. We were married for 30 years; the split was upsetting, but he is not a bad person, and we have children and grandchildren in common, and we keep in touch.

No. We have an adult child together and we are both part of her family but my ex is in no way part of my family.

Lilyfin the guidelines are that you keep contact going.

OK thank you

No. We stopped being family to each other when we split up. We are friends though.

He is obviously family to the kids because he is their dad.

No. He'd be my children's family if we'd had any though.

It seems like it at the moment as he’s the only adult I can see!

Lilyfin it is bloody annoying though as he doesn’t self isolate properly - his fiancée is a front line worker too!

I don’t mean self isolate I mean adhere to lock down

Of course.

I don't even class him as human.

Yes we were together for 20 years, we both made friends in our respective families and those friendships endure.
He is the father of my children and we are both their family.

We are amicable do big events together and take them all out for a meal once every couple of months, so they can talk to both their parents at the same time and we resolve a lot of issues tat way. All amicable- liek adults should behave infront of their children

Not quite the same but I kind of see DPs ex as extended family. I have dropped everything to help her in the past as I would for family and she has done things to help me out.
