I’m in late stage kidney failure. I have a genetic conduction that causes kidney cysts that I had no idea about (I’m adopted). I’m on dialysis and waiting for a kidney donation.
My family rallied around me to find a kidney donor.
My ex husband saw the social media posts and asked if we could talk. He wanted to meet. We haven’t spoken since the divorce. I have him blocked.
I told him that I had no intention of ever speaking or meeting him with my mother as an in between person.
My ex husband had been in love with his best friend since they were young. I was essentially a placeholder. He was always very close to his friend and I felt that I was less of a priority. Eventually he decided to confess, his best friend returned his affections, and he divorced me.
He told me that his best friend was the love of his life. I made his life very happy and he was sure I would find love I deserved one day.
I didn’t and now I’m dying of kidney failure.
I never want to speak with him. I’m not interested in giving him closure. However my family is urging me to speak with him in case he does donate a kidney.
Should I meet him anyways? How do I best protect myself?
