[quote=Grace21]I plan to ask him to celebrate Thanksgiving with us for the kids sake.
I dont understand this. It isnt like the kids are little and need shielding from everything. How is having a family dinner beneficial for them? I think it's OK to offer that he come....but it doesnt seem like its honestly "for the kids sake".
Good point about the kids sake. But I think they would like to have him there. I hope it's not back-tracking in the detachment department if I ask him if would like to join us for a meal. Not to hang out all day. S and I plan to watch the parade and cook together while D works. Something like "I plan to have dinner at 4. You are welcome to join us if you would like".
Of course if he tells me he plans to arrange a more permanent separation, this could all change.
