adinva - that side of the family does things well in advance, so at D's bday party in August, when exBF was staying in a hotel and no one knew, they invited us to three parties in Oct. At the time, exBF and I decided we'd go and it would be a good opportunity for some time together with D. We decided we'd continue to do this sort of thing with our families (I guess what was implied is until we each were with other people). At one of the bday parties, we got invited to a halloween party - but no one knew at the time about our separation. About a week later, ExBF told his dad (who I'm sure told everyone else). I got an email invite recently, but I haven't responded. Also got an invite to a holiday party in December (email - my email address included).
