[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go. Plan a treat for yourself for afterwards, and keep thinking about it during the party. Take a million pictures so you don't have to chit chat with your husband and his wife. If you have a family member or close friend, bring them. Or, is there a mom of one of your DD's friends that you are friendly with? Ask her if she's mind staying at the party to provide moral support. I would do that kind of thing in a heartbeat for a another mom.[/quote] It’s understood that the step-mom being the reason for divorce would make attending the party be quite uncomfortable. The suggestion above to take a friend along is a good one! Perhaps the time is now to repair all relationships, especially for your sake. It is rare to make the choice to heal and restore connections, even if only for the sake of DD. Yet, it may give you great relief knowing that you all have moved beyond the divorce and are willing to let things go. Someday you will be glad that true reconciliation took place, as we all could learn better the art of forgiveness and moving forward. I see far too many bitter, resentful people in the world today who carry that to the grave. Fresh beginnings and a celebration of your DD birthday is a good place to start! Here is a linked article on [url=http://bit.ly/1TzfdAM]Forgiveness and Restoration[/url]. May God give you the strength, wisdom, and courage in this situation and always! [/quote]
