For those of you who've had a parent remarry while you are an adult and then the parent passes away, what happened with your relationship with the second spouse after your parent passed? I am currently navigating this situation. My dad remarried after my mom passed, and at the time of the remarriage, I was already well into adulthood and established, so there was no traditional stepparent relationship.

My dad recently passed away; he and his second spouse had been married for two years at the time of his passing. I have a cordial relationship with the second wife, but nothing beyond the surface. I can count on one hand the times I've been around her in person. I assumed his passing would naturally end my relationship with her. However, she continues to reach out post-death, and I am uninterested. I've never trusted her and feel her outreach has an agenda. Would you gently state as much or ignore the contact and assume it will fade with time? [/quote]

Hey Op, I don’t think this woman is after your thousands. She might be in shock and also lonely especially if this is her first holiday alone or she has no family of her own[/quote]

I didn’t read everything when I wrote that, obviously I wouldn’t be too keen on keeping a relationship going with someone who didn’t bother to visit my parent in hospice[/quote]
