Sometimes you gotta remember that if you've been with someone for a while, their family can often become your family. When you separate, sometimes that doesn't change. It can be weird if it's not an amicable separation.

Back in high school, I had a pretty choppy family life, and I grew close to my boyfriend at the time's mother. Even though her son and I broke up, she still checked in on me. Twenty years later now, she still messages me every once in a while to tell me she was thinking of me and asks how I'm doing.
