[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are separated, he moved out a few months ago. We are still going to therapy for kid's sake. He told his side of the family. They are under some weird impression that I am hosting Thanksgiving this year. I am not. This year, it will be just the kids and my parents. I am not having a big get together, I got stuck with hosting throughout our marriage and I can't say I particularly enjoyed it. They are all aghast as to "why aren't you hosting? You are not divorced." We are not divorced, but we are getting there. I want to get us to a point where we are at least on good terms but no, we are not reconciling and moving back together. ILs are now calling my parents, guilt tripping them that "they get to spend time with grandkids during the holidays and they are not". This is so unfair.

I need to nip it in the bud once and for all but how? Without cussing them out?[/quote]

Sheesh, I am so sorry. I get it-- that they would feel bad about the fact that holidays will now be more complicated-- but they will be for you, too, and it's hardly the first thing that you should be considering when getting divorced or your responsibility to manage. Do you trust your DH to handle? Is HE on board with the divorce?  [/quote]
