[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was in your shoes and in it in a worst way. I lost my spouse after a similar event and my in laws who were ridiculously distant during the initial stroke almost threw themselves in the casket at the funeral. I too had small kids, but unlike you I had my parents and sisters and brothers who basically stepped in and helped me through that storm. My in laws stopped calling after the funeral and still don't do much beyond the obligatory holiday card and phone call on a birthday (when they remember the kids' birthdays). I've accepted it, but one thing to keep in mind is that you should take this event and use it as an opportunity to do some planning about guardianship, etc. I always liked my in laws as well and they were always kind to me (but in hindsight superficially nice). It's times like this you can see who's in your family's corner. Plan accordingly.[/quote]
