I am so dreading next week---my daughter is getting married on the 15th and my divorce will be final on the 19th. In the last 4 mo. since I moved out I have had very little contact with my stbx, occasional emails and have spotted him at church a time or two. I left because of his verbal abuse and 2nd girlfriend in 2 years. Anyway, this should be such a happy time for our daughter and our family and I feel gulity that I am not looking forward to it. Every time I see him I cry and not just tear up, I lose it. How am I going to get through a rehersal dinner, wedding and reception all the while smiling and pretending all is right with the world? I really just want to run and hide. Any advice?

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
If you do go alone and start crying just say that they are tears of joy for your daughter and her happiness. Nobody will question that.
If people ask you about HIM...say something like ..."we are here to celebrate my daughters wedding, lets not dwell on other things". Tell a close relative, sibling or friend your concerns and ask them to stick close to you...a few even.
Be really good to yourself there and after.
