The kids' Dad did a mass text to the three of them suggesting a Saturday breakfast to celebrate Thanksgiving. This would be the first they've seen him since his wedding at the end of September. My fifteen year old daughter said she had plans and would get back to him if she was available.

Odd.. I did mention that she only has one father and to keep the lines of communication open. She wanted me to decide when we'd come back. I told her it was her choice; that I was good with whatever she decided. Because this is HER decision, not mine. I'm not planning on getting stuck in the emotional triangle. Goodness.

So many folks here commiserate over the difficulty of sharing time with their former spouses and its conflicts. At least the kids know that both parents want to be involved in their lives, spend time with them.
