One of the fantasies my X spouted included us happily sitting across from each other with our new spouses during her families Christmas dinner. To her side of our family I have been brother and father figure. It makes sense I am invited. It doesn’t make it easier when she is present and I am certain she now wishes I would just fade away.
We feel what we feel and I think being honest about that to people who care is important. You’re making an effort to keep some semblance of normalcy for your children and that is important and laudable. They appreciate it now and will do so more in the years to come. I think car pooling with your H at this point is over the top and misrepresents the current state of affairs.
We’re all still healing and at different rates. Choose to do for you what is good for you. The people who love and care for you will understand.
BITS Me 55, ACK, when did that happen? Doesn't feel like 55 D 30 S 27
