[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry this is happening to you, OP. It's going to be tough on you and maybe your kid, even college-aged. If you don't want to blindside your child when they arrive and ask where dad and his stuff is, I would give a call and just tell them what is happening. There isn't any way to soften it, and I'd try to just matter of factly tell them what is happening. You can be real with your emotions too. If you're sad or angry, I'd share that, but give your kid space to feel differently. In your shoes, I might be flexible to shake up the routine and not do the same old Thanksgiving dinner. Depending on how the kid reacts, maybe I'd take us both to a nice spa for the break instead. Or if they want to come home and see their high-school friends, try to be understanding to that, but get some peer/adult support around you for the holidays [/quote]
