LivnLearn, Thanks for the validation. The message I have been giving my W for the past month, has been that I felt it was best that she not join us this year--that it would likely be awkward, or civility could break-down, and unpleasant words exchanged. She's not pressing to go. However, I don't want her to feel abandoned.
I'll check and make sure that she has plans for that week. She has a brother and his family who'll be in-town for part of the time. I think she might have made plans with a friend to travel to the west coast. If I get any sense from her that this issue is unresolved, I'll see what I can do (short of not going) to compromise, or make the situation easier for her (ex. a separate trip for us).
