My Ex’s Mom Acts Like We Never Broke Up! 😳

Ever feel like your breakup memo got lost in the mail? That’s me right now. My ex and I split over a year ago, and we’re doing our best to co-parent our two kids. He takes care of his family’s birthdays and get-togethers, so I thought I was finally free from the family obligations. But his mom? She still calls me for every Sunday dinner, expects me to send her sweet texts, and even tags me in old family photos online. Every time I try to gently pull back, she piles on the guilt—"You’re still family to us!" It’s exhausting, and I feel stuck between moving on and not wanting to hurt her feelings. Has anyone else been caught in this awkward in-law limbo? How did you set boundaries without causing drama? Please share your stories—I could really use some advice from someone who gets it! 💬 #FamilyBoundaries #CoParenting #ExInLaws #FamilyRelationships
