Hi Kyh, maybe the summer schedule will work out well for you & the kids. And you can always change it if it doesn't (well, most likely only if the kids are not happy but you can always try). As for the wedding, make it only about your brother. You deserve to have some fun so just tell everyone that it's your brother's day & you don't want to spoil it. I know it's difficult but... My h & I went for the wedding of his cousin earlier this year, after we separated. And I must say it would have been better if he didn't go. He didn't talk to anyone, was visibly down while I was dancing & talking with his family & our kids. He was just watching from the distance. Everyone wanted to know what's wrong with him, asking me, of course... But I didn't let him spoil the fun. Be strong & try to get some sleep! Will think of you during the weekend!
