Hello, Lwb, I hope your TG with your DD's was wonderful. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
I still haven't heard from my friend -- if I don't hear from her before, I will see her again Monday evening. In retrospect, I think maybe her H had custody of their children (two adorable little girls about the same ages as yours, lwb) for TG and was taking them to the IL's. I am hoping that this means she was able to go to her own family's for TG (I know her mother passed away from cancer about a year ago, right about the time she and her H separated. So maybe her father was holding festivities that she could attend. I'll find out whenever I do talk to her again.)
I've had a lot of family and friends (newfound and old) concerned for my own well-being during this holiday, including another person in this same support group. It has really touched me and given me a lot of hope in my fellow man, and I want to make sure that none of my friends are ever in such a situation either.
