It's so fun to be a cheerleader racing after you as my pompoms flutter in the breeze.

YAY lwb!!!

You're great at holding your head up high, keeping the kids involved. It's your choice if you want to be upfront ("I'm doing as well as can be expected considering the circumstances") or focusing on your long term intentions ("Isn't it great seeing the kids having so much fun?" ).
I don't talk about him to my in-laws. I focus on my time with them and leave it at that. Of course you still interact with the father of your children! A big oopsie on my part.
Here's the deal though, I don't feel uncomfortable, however, I think xH does with me there. He encourages it, says he is fine with it. But I feel like he can't fully enjoy himself because he is tip toeing around me (letting me choose who I talk with, where I sit, etc). Make sense? I don't want him to lose contact with his own family, but the girls wouldn't be able to go to these things without me (meaning, because xH works most weekends). Also, I worry his family is uncomfortable but hiding it. Blecky.
You just be happy, outgoing and the nicest, most tactful person ever. Eventually everyone will losen up, relax, and find you irresistibly nice to be around and talk with, and wonder how could any guy let a fabulous woman like you go!
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
