Should I still be close with my ex-husband’s parents after the divorce?

A listener wrote into Damon
for some advice about whether or not she should still be close to her ex-partner’s
parents.

Hi
Damon my name is Nandi and I’m from KwaMashu.
My ex-husband and I after some problems in our marriage because of money decided to call it quits last year.
It’s been hard but I’ve managed to start moving on.
His parents however still call me and his mother asks me out for lunch.
Last week she even came to work to bring me a birthday gift. My mother says i should cut ties with them cause the marriage is over.
But I feel bad cause they supported me and have always been kind.
They even looked after me when I was recovering from a miscarriage.
I don’t have kids with my ex-husband so there is nothing tying me to them but I don’t know what to do.
Should I still be close with my ex-husband’s parents?
