[quote=Anonymous]I am a separated, but not yet divorced, mother of teens. My husband has pretty significant mental illness and his contact with the kids is limited due to it.

Over the years, I’ve become close to DH’s family.  His sister and her husband have been very generous with their time and resources during a very challenging time and my BIL in particular has spent a lot of time with my boys.

BIL is planning a vacation with his college aged kids.  SIL has a demanding career and isn’t going.  BIL has suggested that since there is room in his SUV and the house he rented we should just come along for an almost free vacation.  The trip is to a place my kids would love, and they would love being with their cousins.  I could not afford to them them alone.

I would love to go, and my kids would love it but it feels awkward.  DH can be very jealous about me spending time with any adult males, and DH has other siblings who wouldn’t be invited either.

There is absolutely nothing romantic.  It would be like traveling with a brother.  [/quote]
