I was anxious about how I would feel yesterday since this is my first holiday on my own, but it turned out really nice. Knowing my dad was spending his first holiday without my mom made for quite a few emotional spots in my day, but he was o.k. also. I called him a few times.
I had the dog for the night on Thursday, so I ran to the house yesterday morning to bring her home, when I knew s2bx would not be there and I could tell by the food all over the kitchen that he was cooking for his NEW family.
difficult child came to visit me with his girlfriend in the morning and they brought me a picture they had taken and framed of themselves and it was so nice. He said he called his father in the morning. He then had plans on going to her families house for dinner, but called me later in the day to tell me he dropped her off there and left because they treat him like dirt and he was such a huge ball of anxiety by the time they got there, that he couldn't walk in the door. He said she understaood and he was going to go back and get her later :frown:
easy child came with me to dinner and we had a wonderful time. Her boyfriend came and get this, her father never called her once yesterday to wish her Happy Thanksgiving!! I asked her the day before if she was going to see him at and she said, well he hasn't called me and invited me to anything, so I guess not. Then she said he never called her yesterday and she wasn't going to call him because she obviously wasn't important enough. Then she added that he hasn't called her in about a week.
I didn't tell her what he was doing, but she's a smart cookie and I know she assumed he was spending it with his new family and couldn't find the time to call her.
Just wait until he makes the comment to me about how his daughter couldn't even call him on the holiday.
So like him to make everyone else responsible for his relationships.
He found the time to call his mother and his brothers. My sister in law in law told me yesterday he called in the morning and I said oh that's nice that he called you but he couldn't call his own daughter. She couldn't believe it!!
Just another huge reminder of why I had so much to be Thankful for yesterday.
I was thankful that somebody else besides me was spending the holiday with him :smile:
