This will be the first holidays we haven't spent together as a family.
One, our son is moving out of state, he won't be home at all, then of course the rest of my family won't be spending this time together. My daughter told me my stbx bought plane tickets for them to go to his sisters for Thanksgiving, never asked me if I had plans...funny thing is I always made the plans for the holidays....anyway, I just said ok, but we (my daughter and I) are going to my hometown for Christmas. But, I just can't imagine even Thanksgiving without my family. My Mom is planning on coming down here, but its still not the same, and I am already dreading it. Even though I did most of the cooking, I just keep thinking about his "specialities" he would make and wonder if he will even miss me being there....okay having a pity party here, need to get over it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
His mother was shocked when she wasn't invited over for our son's birthday. What is she still expecting during the holidays?
It will be an adjustment and I'm determined the kids won't be upset by the plans. No matter what I'm still thankful I am not with him anymore.
Then a rescue pup died that afternoon...
I don't think that I can top the misery this year. My daughter is thinking about flying out-providing I am finally moved.
If not, I watch old movies in peace and quiet and hug my dogs. It will be calm.
Sure was different. I was dreading being with all those people so often, every holiday, every birthday, every graduation, every anniversary, funerals, births, marriages, divorces, remarriages, the small family and friends grew exponentially over the years and it was no longer much fun anyway.
So I've been enjoying "My first xxx day alone", and this year, "My second xxx"
But this year has been awesome.
I think we all wonder if they will be thinking about us. I am sure if we are thinking about them, they are thinking about what we are doing as well.
I am sorry you are going to have to go through it. Focus on who you are with and share new thanks for what you have now. Easier said then done I am sure.
the men show up eat leave and go to the next house. at least you werent totally alone.
other than that gonna have to tough it out i guess. i do have a backup plan though something to the effect of a couple of sedatives and a bottle of vodka. :) hopefully i can just wake up sometime after jan. 1st and go from there.
