Starting over....again !

Thanks you, antler. Detaching is my first goal of 2012 !!!

Thank you Kml, I definetaly need to let go. I think the family resisted for as long as they could in meeting the girlfriend. I knew it was inevitable and I thought I would be better prepared for it when it happened. I guess I was not. I did spend thanksgiving and Christmas with them this year, because he went and spent it with her family. I was grateful for that and realize that those may have been the last 2 major holidays I spent with his family. His family is and has been much more of a family to me thani own family. I feel like I am losing more than a husband, I am losing my family. His mom is trying to be reassuring that I could not be replaced in the family, it will just be different now as far as family functions, where he will be invited.
Tonight the girls and I have actually been invited to his step-sisters house to celebrate the birthday of her triplets. We are going, he wasn't invited, not that he would go anyway. And Sunday we are going to his aunts house to celebrate the new year and his moms birthday, again, he wasn't invited. So, yes, I see they are trying to keep me involved with the family. I guess I will have to wait and see how things go the more the start to involve her too.

Thanks again !!
