Ok, I have thought about it, I will attend the function. I will catch the parade and then spend a little time at the barbecue, maybe it will help me be more accepting of it since regardless of what I do, it's in my life. The first time I actually try to stay middle of the road I'm told to going all in might be the right approach, lol. It's amazing how I can see other people's sitchs so clearly but mine is so blurry... Can't see the forest through the trees I guess.
Just a quick drop by, but I think your initial idea of staying clear is more of what I would do in my situation. You're further along, so you need to be in more of the supporting H role. She's making efforts for you, you need to show support. She knows it's something you're not dying to do, your being there will (likely) be appreciated....
It's always easier to analyze and think about stuff when your emotions aren't involved.
