Today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The morning was rough, but the afternoon got better. I went to breakfast with my kids and they headed off to their dads to be with his family. That's when I felt low. My kids weren't here and H was with his own family and we were not nor will we have another Thanksgiving together.
Early afternoon I got a call from my kids dad (my first ex) and he found out from the kids that I would be alone. He invited me for dinner at his house with his whole family. I was really nervous but I went. They really are great people and they made me feel welcome. It was a great day and i hardly thought of my WAH. I did here and there, but when I did I thought how happy I was to be with my kids today.
I just got home and starting to think again. Trying to change the tapes in my head now from sadness to "his loss". I had a decent day and I think I am going to send my first ex a card tomorrow to say thank you for being so understanding with me these past few months. He could have rubbed all of this in my face, but not once has he. THAT is a man of integrity and kindness. My WAH has none.
