Yeah, I did pretty good yesterday. Went to family counseling with her and the kids and had a great time laughing with the kids. She gave me some funny looks which I didn't know how to interpret. At first I thought she was warming up but kind of withdrew towards the end and didn't go to dinner with me and kids. I didn't invite her, but thought she might mention it.
Anyhow, we had a couple of issues. She wants me to take the kids on New Years eve to her brother's house. Her brother and family are blaming her for our breakup and she is mad at him. Says she wont go over there (we go every year usually). Her brother and I have been friends before we started dating. Unfortunately most of her family is siding with me even though I have told them not to take sides. They kind of see how much she has changed since MLC started. But I don't think they see it as a MLC as much as a EA or PA with my neighbor. So I don't know what to do with her family. I love them all dearly but am afraid they are not helping things by taking my side. It builds her resentment for me. I guess it's partially my fault because I called her mother when I found her at his house one morning on his computer (she say's she was helping him find a job online and he is computer illiterate). So I don't know if I should stick with her family or not. We all were aways very close. My wife would talk to her mom every night and get together at least once a week. That's all changed now.
