Need some assitance re: WS's family during Plan B.

I want to remain in contact and keep in touch, they have been part of my life for the last 12 years, they live just down the road, 5 minutes away and WS's daughter now 22 from a previous marriage lives there in the grandparents basement apartment.

It seems now that WS has moved out with OM (another WS) and since I have given the Plan B letter, I have been getting the cold shoulder from her family.

Do I just give them time - I know blood is thicker than mud.

Thanks

Not necessarily.
They are adjusting to all of this too so it'll take time.
Remember that you should not "blame" your ws except for what it is. She had an affair and does not (seem to want) to reconcile.
Don't bad mouth her to them or else you will be cutting yourself off from them.

Hey Chris
I'm not looking to bad mouth the spouse to the family or even ask for support, I'll I was interested in was saying hello seeing if the daughter got accepted to the school she was applying for and maybe have her and her boyfriend over for dinner some time, that kind of stuff..... Maybe they think that's what my intentions are - to bad mouth her.

Did you still want me to post the entire Plan B letter? I know you asked earlier in this chain.
