[quote=Anonymous]Does she have a key to your house? Respond back that you are having a small, private, immediate family Thanksgiving out of the house, and you will see her another time -- she is not invited for Thanksgiving. Don't tell your sons your plans in advance, but make it a surprise. Go out for the day, book a meal somewhere nice. Go to the movies together, or bowling, or something. Be gone for the day. It's not the same as the meal at home that you envisioned, but you won't be on pins and needles all day waiting for her to show at the door. If she does come that day and finds the house empty, as well as not knowing where you are, I doubt she'll wait hours until nightfall. You'd probably only have to "be gone" once for it to hit home. And yes, there will be more rampages, but you knew that already, right? You can't change her. You can prep the day to make it as pleasant and drama-free as possible by being elsewhere and focusing on those you love. [/quote]
