I understand about the birthday thing. My H will be having his 50th in July and I was going to surprise him and fly his sister and fiance from overseas to surprise him either in our home or maybe Vegas. I had just talked to my SIL about what we could plan and then a month later WH told me he wanted to move.
I could understand the pressure you are in. Kids, parents, unstable WH; roll it all together and KABOOM.
I have my Mom and daughter coming in May and I look forward to it but dread it also. If H sees my Mom I think she will just tell him off (comes with age), but I cannot control H and I know I can't control my Mom. But I will take one day at a time and just enjoy the time with them.
Enjoy your family. If WH does not participate -- then he doesn't. He is in a fog, he doesn't get it; doesn't appreciate it; and this is HIS loss.
Hang tight and pray.
Dear Lord
Chase him, Break him, Redeem him, Save him
