[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op: It wasn't so much that she left. It was the manner in which she left. She didn't try to see if I had things in order, or give me time to get situated. She was also ok with leaving while my children were at school without telling them bye. She has put him before me since I was in high school. To the point that I had to give up my bed and sleep on a couch because he and his mother needed a place to sleep. I thought a day or two notice would have been considerate. [/quote]

His mother died, leaping on a plane immediately for a long-time lover/partner seems more than reasonable in my eye. Especially since they've been dating at least 15 years (judging by your age + kids). He's clearly important to her and its not like she walked out the door while babysitting your children, leaving them alone in front of the TV. Get a grip and some modicrum of understanding. Go hire a babysitter and call your mother, it wouldn't be out of line for you to send flowers since its also clear that you knew the mother who just died.

[quote=Anonymous] My husband has been begging for us to have Christmas at home to start our own traditions, but every year I go visit her so that she can have her whole family with her. I guess I should start putting my husband first too right?

Yes, you should. No reason not to start your own family Christmas and invite her to come to you all. Same with his family (though at a different time of the year).[/quote]
