Left my exH back in late 2022 after finding out he was having affairs with other men. Didn't out him to his family and fought really to develop a civil co parenting relationship for my 14 year old.
Unfortunately at the time the marriage broke down, I lived next door to them.
Unfortunately shortly after finding out about exHs cheating, I was diagnosed with cancer. My own family are in a different country. I asked his family (sibling/parents) if they would help support my DC during my treatment. (ExH left the country during this time).
They said sure and then i didn't hear a word from them and also had to travel home via patient transport as I didn't have anyone willing to help me to or from hospital. (100+ miles each way. Remote area). My family member flew in with their own young DC to support mine during recovery. They were providing childcare for my dcs cousins in this period to give the unemployed dad a break.
I then moved out with DC 15 minutes away. I've heard nothing from the grandparents and uncle/aunt of dc since unless I make contact.
I've since been told by friends of the family that they were very vocal about the fact my cancer was not their problem and they wouldn't be supporting my dc. They've also told same friends that it's on me to get in touch for contact with my dc and they won't be making contact with me to do so.
I've also been invited 2nd hand via my cheating ex to celebrate the former in laws big wedding anniversary.
AIBU to just go no contact? I feel for my kid but if sends such a shit message with the way they are behaving.
