I will admit, this Thanksgiving, that I feel bad for my kids that I'm not able to extend the olive branch and invite the ex and his new wife to dinner. My former in-laws are visiting from out of state and I wouldn't mind seeing them. And if my ex had been better about things, I would probably be in that place right now where I could be friendly and invite them all. But the way my ex has deliberately stuck it to me financially in the last couple of years (bailing on our kids so that I have to carry all the financial burden of helping them even though he makes 3 times what I make) and the way that affects our kids - well, THAT'S what I can't forgive him for. I'm OVER the marriage, but I'm not over his monumental selfishness. So Thanksgiving will be just me, my kids, my mom, my sexy hot boyfriend Mr. Keeper, and my best friend and her son.
