A wonderful thing to do. Your mother is setting a good example of a blended family. Your family must have warm memories of your ex.

@Luvsmyfam I'm guessing there will be little ones at the gathering, thus the skank is playing Santa?

That's a tough one.

A lot of times, couples who divorce become better as friends as time goes on...they couldn't get it together living in one house, but now they can ...pressure is off.

And when you get OLD, you can't have too many friends.

I'd rather it be friendly than not.

My best friend today is the man I lived with for 9 years in the 1980s. We both went separate ways, married, divorced, had other relationships, and now are best friends forever. We live 400 miles apart. In the 80s we had a house, two great jobs, new everything....but it didnt' work out for us....we were too young and idealistic.

Now, we attend family dinners, everyone gets along. And oddly enough, in his and my family are couples who've also been married and are still together since th 1980s....and we all get along.

Neither of us date or have sig. others right now....separate lives, but help each other if we need it.

I like it!!! And he and I always seem to be welcomed by the former families...

Can't have enough friends when you get older.

@cheriere Good grief ~ you're a better woman than I am!

I don't want to breathe the same air as any of my exes let alone share a meal. Good for you...

lol, this was at my parents house too...where he knew I'd be. Fortunately we'd already ate dinner, so he just made a small plate. The weirdest part was entertaining this toddler & trying to stay out of pics he wanted taken with me. My parents aren't fans of him either. But, they didn't say much of anything. He tried to reminisce about the past and asked if he could call me sometime and get together! I never answered a single call. After all he put me through, that ship has SAILED!!!

We were together for a lot of years, from college until 2013.

There was a time he was a good man. I felt safe with him & trusted him with anything. When that changed, it changed me. I can't tell if he's telling the truth or not anymore. I'd give anything to have him back the way he used to be...but I don't think that'll ever happen. He even told me he couldn't "JUST BE FRIENDS" with me, he'd always want more. But I'm too scared to ever take that chance with him again.
