Should I Tell Her to Move On???

Yeah, I don't know about that Gr8. Here's my thinking for what it's worth. You said that she knows that Thanksgiving dinner was awkward. She doesn't want to have a repeat of that dinner. Ok, she knows this but SHE is the one asking you to dinner. Perhaps she wants this dinner to be positive and not an awkward moment for you both? Something positive to build on? This could be a good opportunity for you to show her the new you. What do you think?

If I were you I would go to the dinner for a couple of reasons. First, it's an opportunity to be there for your D5 on a special day for her. I don't have children but I would want to be at every event I could if I did. I would want to make it a good memory for her. Second, as I mentioned before, it's a good opportunity for you to show your W an upbeat and positive you. Blow her mind, keep the focus on your D5 and don't allow it to be awkward. If you remain positive and upbeat then I think that would go a long way. Just my 2 cents.

I know it's been said that the LBS takes crumbs from our WAS at times. While this might be true I feel like we have to start somewhere, don't we? Others might disagree and that's fine. I don't expect our WASs to jump right back overnight. This is a process and I believe we have to start somewhere. I would go and see what happens. If it's awkard again then you know your W is not there yet. If it's a good dinner then you're making progress.
