I agree. I think you should go on the trip. This may be your biggest opportunity to outshine the OM. Show her how much fun you can be when the entire family is together. Don't say things about how great it was being M and having the kids, etc., b/c that puts pressure on her. Just be yourself.....with showing a lot of fun for the kids. That is what is important. She will be watching you going out of your way to show your children a great time in a wonderful place. This could even be a turning point for the R. Hopefully, a little magic will happen while you are there. Try to relax and not be too anxious so you can enjoy these memories you are making.
Talk later, Sandi
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
