I took the day off of work today to spend it with the he-ex and his family. (I had to sign the papers mentioned a couple of posts ago) They were all very nice to me and treated me with respect. I feel like things are beginning to heal. My former father-in-law took me aside and spoke to me briefly. Up until today, he hasn't been able to look me in the eye or speak to me since the divorce. It meant a lot to me that he had the courage to do that today. The family went out for lunch afterwards and invited me to join them. I was going to decline but my ex asked me to stay. I know that I'll never again be considered a part of the family, but the fact that they've forgiven me is a wonderful thing. There are so many things that I've wanted to say to them for years. I'm not sure if I should do that now, or if it would just open up old wounds. I kind of want to tell them my side of the story and give them explanations for some things that I don't think they understood - But maybe it's all water under the bridge and I should let sleeping dogs lie. *enough cliches?* Any advice?
To top the day off, the she-ex and I are taking the kids out to a movie together tonight. Now isn't that cozy?!
