the ex's mom

when my ex-fiancee backed out on our wedding years back, i dealt with the concequences on my own. i never even bothered knowing how his family reacted over having the wedding cancelled. i just assumed that they're much like him. or even they had given their support and backed him up about his decision.

then just recently, news flew all over from south china sea to here, that his mom still talks about that part of his life. not only that, she couldn't bear the embarassment his son has brought to the family. it must have been difficult for her. i think she might have felt disgraced about her son's actions. or probably, she's still in disbelief how she knows someone who could do that, much more, her own son. makes me wonder, had i talked to his mom then, or attempted to communicate with her before, had coping been different? but i can't tell if it had made things easier, or more difficult though.

it's funny when you learn that your ex's mom, is as aware as you are, on you how much of an asshole her son had been. although that statement could have given a different note if you'd known about it before you just stopped caring.

oh well, just an amusing trip to memory lane.
