[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She has nowhere else to go as I’m her only nearby family and I’m going to my in-laws’ place. They have a large family and my MIL is kind of smug about how blessed she is to have such a large, “close” family (whether it is close is debatable). They would welcome my mom, but MIL has a tendency to gossip and judge the misfortunes of others. My mom’s misfortune being that she is divorced and has no one but me. I hate for her to pity my mom or me. I’m thinking of seeing my mom by myself earlier in the day, then going to the in-laws without her. I don’t want them to feel sorry for me or her.[/quote]

Invite your mom!

Go there... both of you laugh... smile... talk with everyone... bond..
compliment the relatives cooking or their baking or their outfits, etc.
Have a blast, and you & your mom be the hit of Thanksgiving!

I guarantee you that she won't feel sorry for either of you if you both look like you're having the most fun day ever. 😁

This is a great answer. 
What could your mil possibly be smug about, if your mom is the hit of the day?
