I had thought about dinner being an opportunity to show her my positive changes. My problem with going is she expects me to say yes. So declining would be a 180 for me. It will also show her a sense of mystery about me. Going to see D5 graduate will be joyous for me, I don't want to ruin he day by getting her hopes up about W and me. In addition it will saw her I am not always there for her when she wants me. I will be there for D5 any time, but dinner with her dad, mom and step dad is something I don't need right now. I get along great with all of them but don't feel it's a good time for it.
Greek,
I think I do need to rattle the cage with W an this situation.
She needs to be woken up so she can see I'm not going to agree with her suggestions all the time.
The dinner isn't until early June. I have over a month to decide what to do and a lot can change in those few weeks.
I am going to see what developes the next few weeks then decide want to do.
What I have learned from this process is that things can change directions like the wind.
Maybe in a week or two I'll let her know I will get back to her about the dinner.
Another thought on her email, What was with the puncuation after the dinner invite?
