Guest guest Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 i wasn't " allowed " to come to family holiday celebrations as long as I dated my old boyfriend. So, now, when mom wants to make plans with me for Thanksgiving, etc., my stomach does flip flops. amy so hard to get over all this stuff. Thanksgiving Hello, Hopefully I can explain this properly. My father's family (father is deceased) wants us to do thanksgiving with them. My grandfather is getting older and rarely gets to see my kids (he is a long haul trucker). My mother is always welcome though and we have had NC for 8 months. She never attended in the past and in fact never speaks to them anymore. I have a fear though that she will go out of her way to attend in order to corner my kids (the reason for the NC-long story). I have thought this before and she never showed. There is no issue between me and these family members. The bigger problem I have is that they do not do thanksgiving as I would like my children to experience it. Everyone gets there food and spreads out to eat. My ILs on the other hand do the whole family togetherness thing. I feel bad going to the ILs for both t day and Christmas and want my kids/dad's family to have a relationship. I personally (selfishly?) would enjoy the ILs better and be less stressed. Any advice? -- " By definition, madness ends in one of two ways: clarity...or death. " -- *Frantic Purification* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
