OMG! Anyone who has followed my thread wont believe this - I don't. Ended up having the family dinner after all - because H didn't get my message until he was already on his way, so he came over anyhow.
He was so nice!

He was very helpful and made some of the dinner, and I broke down for a minute saying it was a hard day with S - he's been sick and having meltdowns (always does the day after going to dad's) and I was feeling like a failure for not getting the dinner together properly. H asked how he could help me! That's when he took over making dinner and said don't worry about it. This from the man who criticized my dinners over and over for the past year. And even said this...."I've actually been impressed at how well you've been keeping the house together."

This from the man who terrifies me every time he comes over for fear of the constant criticisms and frustrations at the state of the house and my disorganization? I don't know what is going on!
