The good news is that the court order gives me the kids over Thanksgiving, so she'll spend it with my family, and the kids, my parents, and I (and probably a lot of the rest of my family) will spend it somewhere else.
Honestly this is new territory for me here on these forums, and I thought I had heard it all, LOL! The WAS actually wants to go spend Thanksgiving with the LBS's family. I am having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around that. WOW. So now the LBS's family is going to be split in half on a family holiday because of the WAS. OK Jim I am going to tell you what I would do, but let me preface it by saying I am not a PC let's-all-hold-hands-and-love-each-other kind of guy I would read my family the riot act. If they want to invite this woman who is hellbent on divorcing me to family get-togethers then they can count me out. And I would not tell them quietly and peacefully. I would tell them that they are MY BLOOD FAMILY and HOW DARE THEY invite this woman without asking me first, WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE!!!!!????? I would suggest to them that if they EVER want to see me again they rethink their strategy on that. That's right, it's her or me, they need to decide, and if they choose her then goodbye Felicia. But that's me
