Dh just called....fil is back in the hospital. They think he had a stroke and he's in the ICU. And I feel nothing. No sympathy, no sadness, no regret over not visiting him for over a year. Nothing.

i agree. just because someone becomes ill or dies does not mean they were suddenly a great person all their life and deserve for everyone around them to be crying. bad people are bad people. it's ok to not be sad about never having to see them again (potentially). if anything happened to sd, while i wouldn't be jumping for joy over it, i also wouldn't lose any sleep over it. she's been horrible to me and i would not miss her. that's just how it is. you don't have to feel for everyone, especially those who have brought stress and pain into your life.

I don't know the story, but I have learned this...

Feeling are what they are. You can't control them anymore than you can control your heart beating so don't beat yourself up. I'm sure there is a good reason to feel the way you feel.
