LD - I had a great Thanksgiving. First one in 24 years without my Ex. So there was some anxiety surrounding that footnote. However I spent the day with my girlfriends family which consisted of 4 generations of folks with diverse interests, occupations and backrounds. It was wonderful and everyone had a great time. Plenty of food, games and fun. I ate too much but couldn't help it. My lower back is killing me. One 9yr old took a liking to me and I became the piggy back guy.

Not a peep from my Ex or her family. As is their custom, I'm sure there was some sort of drama brewing. With so many divorces and marriages there is a breeding ground for holiday drama.

This Thanksgiving, although without my Ex, was very nice indeed. I still love her but quite frankly didn't miss the dysfunction.
