lwb....I think our children cycle just like we do. One moment there is acceptance, the next hurt and anger. It will get better with time, for all of you.
Why was ExH so late? Did he contact you to let you know? That just does not seem kind to do to your children. I hope he is not stil playing the "ME ME ME ME" card.
I think it is probably wise that you decline the "family" invitation. As much as you love them, they are "his" in the divorce. It does not mean that you can not do things with them or feel connected to them still, but when it comes to special events or holidays he will get them first. Blood is thicker than anything.
Did I read that your H is bringing a DATE to a company party? I thought he was still flying solo. ((HUGS)) I dont know how you do it, but it must have hurt anyway. LWB, you ae such a wonderful person and a great mother. You are taking the time you need to heal properly, he is chasing the feel good for the moment. You will be the one who moves to a healthier place, he will continue to search for the greener pastures. You are so loved....dont forget it! Stay strong.
