Death of a Father-in-Law: All the Details
Father-in-law dies a couple of months ago. Admitted to hospital and released with an OK prognosis. And then he wasn't OK.
There are three sons, and I am married to the middle one. Several years ago, my FIL moved in a girlfriend who was a horrible person. My husband took a stand, and neither of his brothers supported him. Their mother, who divorced my FIL 30 years ago and remarried 20 years ago, sided with the other two sons. They were correct in understanding that their father was an adult making his own decisions.
My FIL did not marry the woman, and we knew that he had not put her on the title of the house. She died a couple of years ago, and my husband and his father started repairing their relationship. When my FIL died, my husband admitted that he was angry that his father picked the woman over him. But he stepped up to the challenges, and there have been many.
Including his mother, who decided she was the widow.
