We had a nice holiday. He thanked me and "offered" to clean up since I cooked after he rested, but I am a do it now person and once I sit I am down for good so I got up and put stuff away so he didn't help. He kept telling me he said he would do it and I said I didn't have a problem doing it. Kids and I played games and he fell asleep. He took the kids for the night and left after 9. First time he really sorta "hung" around. I still didn't speak much and cannot look at him. That will take time I suppose. Was sad to see the kids go. He didn't even have today off and I did so he had to get the poor kids up to drive them home. That sucked for them. Oh well. His one s-i-l called to wish me a good holiday and offered me a homemade pumpkin pie. Again, the only member of the family to bother. She also told me that xmas eve would be at her house and I was invited. She is wonderful in that she acts like it is business as usual, I am not "ousted". I had figured I would be alone but now I am not sure. What do you think? I would have to see the other s-i-l I have problems with but I can keep quiet. Good idea or bad? He may tell me no anyway so it may be a moot point.
