I think it's ok to try and figure out why you feel the way you do, but I suspect you're also telling yourself that you shouldn't have these feelings.

My position on this one is that you feel the way you feel and there's no right or wrong.

You can be sure he'll have heavily edited whatever he's told them to suit his own re-writing of history - you can't control that but you can construct your own truth about what has happened.

Sometimes in-laws just don't know how to act for the best and feel torn. Sometimes hidden resentments between in-laws surface after a break-up and you see what was already there but was tolerated for the sake of peace.
And sometimes, their behaviour just reveals how they deal with change - it isn't acknowledged on an emotional level and people just get on with the practical side, which if you're someone who deals with it foremostly on an emotional level just appears cold.
