DawnMarie. I hope you make plans for that day for you and your kids. My W relapsed about 4 years ago and only wants to hang out with other drinking peers that will not condemn her new life priority choices.
Even though i rarely voiced my objections in the past, and tried guilting her for missing out on time with our S9, she would throw herself into victim status and say, don't you know how many times i have dragged myself in the mud over that. No genuine remorse, just wanting pity.
It's inconceivable to me and you how our spouses could minimize the value of quality family time, even if only for the children, but they are not thinking rationally and will suffer with their consequences.
Enough about them though..... You make sure you and your children have plans. Do you have family in the area? Have an extended family and/or friends get together.
I always have the long drive for family parties. My brothers and sister live in the SW suburbs of Chicago and i live in the NW suburbs, but i never hesitate to get togethet with family.
Take care of Yourself DawnMarie.
