Let yourself have a good time too BBJ. Last year when things with my H were at their worst, I found being with my family made me feel so much better. One thing I let him do was put distance (physical and emotional) between my family and me. Don't know if Dan did that, but I know he had a different view on family than you so I would guess he did. Use this time to reconnect with your family and friends. It will help you feel better and get through the holidays.

Love ya, Lizzy
