The kids and I had a really good time yesterday. They loved that he was there and we all were together. They were so cute when they sand their songs. I love watching that kind of stuff. My mother came over and spent the night which they love. I went out with friends later in the evening and had a really good time. It bothered me that he was acting like such a jerk, but after posting about it I let chalked it up to part of the ride and let it go. It took a lot of effort, but I was able to not obsess about how he acted and just appreciate the day for what it was.
My ILs and I get along really well. They did notice his behavior and my MIL said a little bit about it, but didn't really get into it since the kids were there. I had actually spent the earlier part of the day with his cousin and her husband which was nice. She told me that they all love me and hope that I still remain a part of the family and that they want me there. That was really nice to hear. Apparently when I was there for the family Easter H was angry that I would be there because it's not my family. His cousin told him that they were the only family I had since I moved here and left my family 9 years ago and that they want me there and hope I continue going to family functions because I am family. She also told him that he had nothing to complain about because I had my life together and he was the one who didn't. How cool is that?
