[complicated]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I did. I always love getting together with the whole family and we always seem to talk about funny things in the past.

I went to see in-laws this afternoon. When I got there H was there. Said Hi to everyone and sat down and talked to mil and fil. Later I went back and talked to H and asked him why he won't answer me and he was all mad. Said he had emailed me which I never got and didn't appreciate I barged in on him. I told him I was there to see his parents.

He ended up leaving as I was getting up to leave. MIL said "you are always welcome here whenever you want." She was very upset at what transpired. Once again she said that she doesn't know what happened to him that he was not brought up that way. yada yada.

The biggest thing she said to me was this and it made me cry. She said just continue to act with dignity because eventually the kids will see this and it means a lot. She said you will be glad in the end that you did the right thing. She told me I don't know how you do it and I don't know how long you will be able to hold on but you are acting with dignity and everyone will see how you have been through this whole ordeal. She too said only you know how long you can last.

I told her that I thought divorce was the easy way out instead of facing your problems. She agreed. I told her again that I contributed to our problems and she said everyone plays a part.

I told her I missed the family. They always treated me so well as I did them. She just stressed to me again that they want me to know that I am welcome whenever I want and they love seeing me. I offered to help whenever they needed it as they are up there in age.

Then I went to my family Thanksgiving and told them I had seen in laws. My whole family was glad to see that I go see them. I even brought the dark meat home for them because mil isn't cooking much. SIL is having Thanksgiving for their family tomorrow. H didn't invite me but that's ok. I'm taking D16 out of town for a concert so we'll have some bonding! ha ha.

Thanks for stopping in. Hope everyone had as good of a Thanksgiving as I did. Now comes the rush of the holidays.
