[quote=Anonymous]My FIL married his AP when DH was an early teen (ish. I get confused the ages when his dad and his mom remarried...).

Anyway, DH and his sis always knew the score and tolerated time with their step mom, but most of their time with their dad was not at FIL’s house - outings, trips, etc. I think it put a real strain on their relationship with their dad. Restated - I think the fact that FIL blew up the family put a real strain on his relationships with his kids.  MIL had nothing to do with it, couldn’t have prevented it if she tried, but I’m sure she hated it.

But everyone is in their 40s now, and probably 30 years since they divorced. Last year we all had thanksgiving together. I’ve heard the 4 of them have gotten together for dinner a few times without kids and grandkids.

My point is, this is a long game. Not that the goal is spending the holidays with your ex and his AP, because yep, that’s totally weird. But you’ve got a long life of co-parenting. Go high. [/quote]
