I decided that it was time that I went to visit my ex brother and sister in law. They live in Wales now and I don't get the opportunity to see them that often, in all honesty I have been putting it off whilst I was dealing with the transition.
My bro in law has no relationship with his brother (W's dad), they have not spoken for 20 years. I have been putting off this conversation about W and his decision, as I don't want anybody using it as 'one upmanship'.
I also felt it would be unfair to them to hear it secondhand, as it is no secret anymore news travels fast.
I dropped the bombshell... I'm not shocked anymore or perceive an outcome as I inform people, so I just take their reaction as it comes.
Well, there was no reaction. Ant made no comment and Iz just said 'As long as she is happy, she will always be my niece, I love her to bits'.
Job done, no mention until the following morning. Iz was asking how Matt had taken it and how had her dad reacted, I told her the story of his visit 18months ago, she was not surprised as she knows W's dad very well. Iz was asking how I was and how difficult it must have been. There was no reaction at all off Ant, no questions in fact it was as if he hadn't heard what I had said.
Finally, I think that the people who need to be informed have been...There is just the big question
'Do we tell Grandad'?
