[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also - this is too vague. How do your ILs “half know?” What does that even mean? Were they informed or not?

And do your kids know or not? We cannot give meaningful advice in the absence of this information.

I think that it’s fine to go but don’t pretend anything. You’re making the best of things for the kids, but you are separated, and everyone is aware. That’s only if you and your DH can be cordial, of course.[/quote]

they know what happened. they know we are taking time. they are hoping we get back together. I still dont know what will happen bc it is new. [/quote]

I'm sorry.  This will be agonizing.  I would bring a ton of books and read my way through the holiday.  Since your in-laws know, at least they can be on best behavior.  If you actually like these in-laws, it might be mutually reassuring that you'll remain connected through the kids.  I don't see a way to address the situation that provides normalcy for the kids other than everyone goes.  Can you order a pre-made Christmas dinner?[/quote]
