I am always grateful for the different point of views.
I decided to go and I didn’t take the decision lightly either. In the end I did it for S3 and myself and with zero expectations. None.
The drive there was a little unnerving but once I was greeted by S3 it made it all worth is. STBXW and MIL/FIL all were cordial and welcoming.
All S3 wanted to do was open presents from Santa lol. We all exchanged gifts and were all ok with everything. STBXW thanked S3 for his gift and looked at me while she did it. I didn’t acknowledge it. After presents we all sat down from breakfast (I hadn’t been asked if I was staying or even offered, they dished it up anyway) The whole time i never looked or talked to STBXW and purposefully sat next to S3 and did the normal parenting and concentrated on him.
Spent a little longer with him had a lot of fun.
When it was time to leave. We all said our goodbyes and we left. I am definitely glad I went to see him.
I’m not sure if this will become a tradition because I’m not into being friends with STBXW.
I did receive a text not long after we left that was I my view a friend zone (or possibly bread crumbing?) text but I would like to know thoughts? “Thank you for coming this morning. It was nice having you here, I know S3 loved it. Enjoy the rest of the day.
I didn’t reply.
The rest of S3 and my day was spent with my family, which was great.
I hope you all have or going to have a great Christmas Day! I did in the end, S3 made it all worth it and reminded me that there is more to life and how one toy can light up a kids face. Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas, AZ! Glad to hear you enjoyed your time with A3 on Christmas morning. May your days be filled with joy and peace, and I pray for ior many wonderful Christmases for the two of you in the years to come.
