Thanks Snodderly:

H tm'd me yesterday. Inquiring about d13 staying home from school today as she only has 1/2 day. I told him that I thought it would be ok and that I thought he might want the extra time with her. He replied he had to work and that I should spend the time with her since i said i was not coming to thanksgiving.

I replied that first off i was not invited to thanksgiving and also I did not want to put his family in an uncomfortable situation with things the way they are between us now. I told him I cherished the memories of past holidays with his family and I hoped that he will enjoy the day as I know the kids will.

He replied that it was my choice. Whatever. I stopped tming him. A few hours later he sends me a tm that says "don't want to take your kids from you on the holiday." What the heck?? I didn't respond. Not sure what he is talking about.

So, not sure if he will drop this or try to guilt me into going. I really just don't know what to do or think.
