Thanks DnJ. You are NOT overstepping at all. I appreciate the input.
As for your question...I think I would tell you to try to go because you can't avoid it forever and your kid wants you there. However, I would understand if you decided not to.
My sweet grandmother used to tell me all of the time: "The best way is usually the hard way." Boy, was she right. It would be best if I go, but it won't be easy.
I know I will have to eventually face him. I also know that beating the Hell out of him isn't going to solve anything.
I'm not 100% set on my decision yet, but I've only got one week to decide.
May 4th....ug. Feel like I did when the divorce was hanging over my head.
What to do?
