I got a divorce recovery book today. Some of what I've read made me realize I can do this the hard way or the easy way. So I've decided since eventually I'm going to be over this I should probably just start acting like I would when that happens. Basically I buried the hatchet with the ex. I told him that I won't be nasty about him having someone over because he is going to start seeing someone eventually anyway. Besides My D has already met her and likes her. Also I brought up the subject of the holidays. We will try having Thanksgiving together(just the meal not the whole Macy's Day parade experience) and Christmas morning presents opening. Does anyone else do this. My dad doesn't think it is a good idea.
