This is going to sound heartless...but if the kids haven't formed a bond with her, will they actually care? Are they old enough to understand?

 

I can't see why you have to support the fathers though - isn't that what their wives are for?

How old are your children? Will they even be welcomed if they go visit her to spend some time with her?

Invite the fathers to take their children to see the dying nana. The fathers will derive comfort from the kids' presence & the nana will probably be grateful to see them again.

 

When nana passes, you send flowers from both kids something along the lines of "beloved nana". You let the fathers dictate the terms of the kids' presence at any services / rituals.

its so hard dealing with him picking up my son whos 2. his dad and nana live 3 hours away i have no car to take him up and also 26 weeks pregnant to him. not that im welcome up there. im pregnant with his 2nd child hes still with his wife.

 

I dont want him take my son up due to not trusting his wife. my son may trigger her and she may hurt him. I say trigger cos hes dealing with know hes cheating on her 2nd time. when she was down early his year my son had a bump on his head. i think she did it.police cant do any thing about it. she watches him 24/7 the wife.

 

I was this other woman but im not now. hes really trying to be good. which is great for him i not going back there again

Your kids don't know their grandmother and won't be affected by her death and that side of the family doesn't want you there anyways so I would recommend that you just stay home with your kids and let your exmm and his family grieve

I think you’re turning something into a problem that isn’t yours. Let the grown men deal with their own emotions. If you’re in a relationship with one of them - not sure I fully understand the situation - then be supportive of him. But that doesn’t mean coddling him as though he were a child. Just listen and be understanding.

 

As far as your kids are concerned, I doubt they have a clue as to what’s going on and I wouldn’t worry about it. However, I’d tell the ex that if your son comes back to your house with another bump or bruise anywhere on his body, he’s going to need to answer for it and have you to deal with. Take pictures any time that happens and put dates on them. Too many of those incidents and your husband will be sorry he let his idiot wife touch his child. Typically, if a man is confronted with a mother’s wrath where her child is concerned, he’ll move heaven and earth not to let it happen again. My ex did that once to my son and I called him, asked him what happened, and then calmly informed him that if I ever saw bruises on my son again, I’d disappear and he’d never find either one of us again. The incident never happened again.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but it's not for you to decide who his child sees or is with when you aren't there.

Your only choice, really, is to go to court and have all this clarified.

 

 

 

In all honesty, given your history with her husband and his brother, can you blame his wife for not being to thrilled about the situation?

It's not necessary for you to support the fathers of your children. Stay away from their family, as your presence would only serve to make a rough situation even rougher. Let the fathers take the children to visit their Nana or attend the services if they believe it is necessary.

Kids will bounce back, and they don't care all that much when young. You really have not obligation here. If it is a bad mix, then just don't go. Send card.

Like others have said - sounds like the kids never really knew their grandma, so they won't be affected. I was never close to my grandparents as a kid - and honestly was not affected at all by their passing.

 

As for the fathers - these are two brothers who cheat on their wives with you right? I can understand why grandma isn't thrilled with the situation.

 

I say stay out of it. You don't need to "support" these men, they have wives for that. You said one of them isn't even talking to you (is that the one who most recently impregnated you?).

 

Just honestly this situation is a huge mess. The kids don't know their grandma well, it's going to be one of the many things they miss out on due to the nature of situation
