I have new question--please see above for overall history if interested. ex husband takes our son who is schizophrenic, out to dinner weekly. Two days ago, ex asked me if I wanted to join them. I was kind of shocked, but agreed since it is down the street from where ex and I attend monthly support grp for parents of Mental ill relative. Son has asked to bring a friend to dinner--this friend happens to also be Mentally ill and is a lady around the same age. They have made a friendship for about 6 months now. I have no problem with that, except I am now torn about going. Somehow it feels like I would be on a "double date". My ex has live in gf of many yrs and I don't know if this is appropriate. Looking for some quick advice on whether I should go.
