Thanksgiving and Christmas are the worst, then New Years and Valentines throw daggers at your heart.
Sounds like you're struggling a bit right now with the Holidays. Sorry. It can be tough.

Good. She moved out and you're divorced and she's dating another man - no need to bail her out financially.

That's awesome. Sounds like you've really made a positive impact on their life.

Hope you didn't respond. It was her decision. She just texted you to assuage her guilt.

That hurts. Sorry man. Keep in mind he's been in the picture for a brief moment compared to your decades. He could very well be gone next Thanksgiving. And even if he's not you're gonna be feeling much better regardless.
