W called earlier tonight about trick or treat tomorrow. Apparently she's coming over to the house and treating it like any other halloween. She invited her best friend/husband, asked about getting food, etc.

Not that I want the kids to suffer, but a big part of me wants W to understand that we will not have family holidays should she wish to proceed towards D, so why should tomorrow night be any different? Putting my foot down and insisting on separate halloween celebrations with the kids will only push her closer to D though, so I just shrug my shoulders and put on a smile.
