Gina, I don't know if I can help at all. This is all still new and raw to me and I am still feeling my way along waiting to see light at the end of this dark tunnel. If you think this invitation is really about caring and not motivated by something else ( trying to get you two back together or wanting to see if sparks fly ) then I would probably go but make it clear that I can't stay long. Put your shoulders back and your head up and let them know you care about them still. I was married before and kept a good relationship with my x-in-laws but had to let some time pass before we could pick the relationship back up on a different basis. You and I both are looking for support now but we have to be careful. I've already had a terrible and unexpected wake-up call from my STBX and his family. It was like being knifed in the back by several people at once. I lost a lot of ground that day. As Crystal says, hope for the best but prepare for the worst. I'm learning to apply that not just to him but to everyone connected with him. Whatever your decision, I'll be thinking of you.
