I’m sorry that you are going through this difficult situation. My heart hurts for you. Your post was moving to read. While my situation is different in many ways, you are inspiring me to make the best of what can be a disappointing and difficult day. Part of that for me is changing the expectations of what it will be like at my in-laws on Christmas day. Thank you.

In reply to Justine. My heart goes out to you. I promise that the first year is the hardest. I won't say that it is easy now, but it DOES get easier.

This. So much this. I am a recently divorced mom whose family did not support the decision. Although we live a matter of a minute away from each other, I am no longer welcome or included in my extended family. When you said you cried on Thanksgiving, that was me. I am still trying to deal with the all of it, but this post was just what I needed tonight! Thank you!
