In this case since they already know ans still invited you then I see no reason to go. If fact I think if you did not go this may leave a bad impression on them. Who knows what the W will tell the the reason you are not there.
I know what you mean about the clock and fence sitting. My W is not mean like yours and she has come along way but the non commital and the unspoken words can somethimes hurt just aa much aa yelling.
Hang in there big guy. I am just about ready to start my 12 step program and you and my other safe people will be hearing from me.

And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
I feel the same way - but WE won't even be at our house!
Do you have some friends to spend the day with, if W blows out of town without you? (FWIW, some of my best Turkey Days have been spent with friends rather than insanity-making relatives!)

OK, well, she has told the kids that they are going to see her brother. Not sure if I am going to join them. I probably will not... It was S-MIL that invited me, not BIL.
Come to England for a long weekend Mark - we don't celebrate TG - more of a day we try to forget I guess, ( ). It's one less stressy holiday to deal with!!! Saffie

My first question is why does she want to have a family Thanksgiving dinner at your house (with all of you), if she is taking the kids somewhere else (BIL's) to celebrate the next day? That confuses me.
Ok, I think your option #3 is the best of the worst, you know what I mean? I am so sorry Mark. I know you are dealing with some depression lately, and its so hard when they pull the rug out from us. We make plans, and they go all floopy on us, and we are left in the dust.......

I do know what you mean. Unfortunately, the wife will be shocked at my change of heart in going to see her bro. She will suspect that I have made other plans (you know, to see my girlfriend....).
