Should I attend his funeral?

Q My ex-husband and father of my children died recently. My children want me to go to the funeral and the wake, but his new wife doesn’t. My sisters-in-law said I would be welcome, but to remember that my ex wanted nothing to do with me. I want to support my children, who are in their early 20s, and don’t get on with their stepmother. I also want to pay my respects.

Nicola, Liverpool
