Evolve- I am struggling with the memories too, being this is the first Thanksgiving separated, and my time line is somewhat similar to yours. But you know what? I am thankful that I made it through, and though there were many sad moments during the day it was not as terrible as i thought. Two weeks ago i thought the holidays would kill me. But I traveled on a plane, by myself with a two year old, and ended up having a decent time. We are getting stronger evolve, and where we are gaining strength from our experiences, they will ultimately only be able to live with regret from theirs. B/c at some point I truly believe, whether they want us back or not, they will realize how terrible they treated us. And the more we take the high road, the less likely they are to blame us for their mistake and the more likely they are to realize how poorly they have behaved. Sorry for my rambling post- I have had some wine too!!
