Below is what I was about to post right before I received Acc's 2 cents. Acc, you have some darn good points. I am torn and I might just wait and respond to W tomorrow. Thanks guys for all your help.
Ok then, I will be sending it off as is. In an effort to help me learn, the most “common” question I might be asked is. “How come you’re not going to daughter’s birthday party Rough?”.
To be honest, I don’t know how I would respond to that. Even though we will have our own celebration, this will be the first birthday party ever for both our kids that I won’t be attending, it’s so sad.
Ok, I had to take a break after writing that last sentence, got me all chocked up. I am wondering if W and others might view it as “Rough’s taking a stance” or “He’s mad”.
I am trying to view some of this from W, W’s friends and my in laws perspective. I understand mindreading does no good but once again, I am trying to understand how to respond to W and others that might ask why I am not attending. I was hoping to understand the logic behind it? Thanks again.
