My ex and I had a terrible breakup and blocked each other everywhere. What nobody knows is that I still occasionally speak to his mother. She had become close to me during our five-year relationship, and after the breakup she sent me a simple message saying she hoped I was eating properly.
We don't discuss her son. Maybe once every two or three months she sends a festival greeting or asks about my job, and I reply. I'm in another relationship now, and I've never told my current boyfriend because I'm afraid it will sound like I'm still attached to my ex. I'm not. I just couldn't erase someone who once treated me like a daughter.
