We were supposed to have a big family Thanksgiving at FH's grandmother's house. She is not doing well (which is a real shame because she is a lovely person) but for that reason FH's father has unilaterally cancelled Thanksgiving and decreed that everyone is on their own. Yes - he is a bit of a control freak!
However, I am very happy about this because as many of you know, my first husband died last Thanksgiving Day and I was not sure how I was going to be feeling on that day. He knew that it was always my favorite holiday and I know he would be furious with me if I could never enjoy it again but it is the very first anniversary so I think he would give me a pass for being melancholy!
But now I am stuck alone with FH and the skids. FH expects to have a normal Thanksgiving and I just don't think I can do it. I tried talking to him about it but he is playing deliberately stupid saying that "it can be scaled back - just make a turkey breast - I will pitch in (yeah right!) " - and when I bring up my feelings about it he just says "you will be fine - we are here for you." Yeah - Mr. Get Over It and his teenage emotional black holes!
I am considering either making reservations somewhere to go out to eat which I have never done before so your thoughts would be appreciated. I am also considering manufacturing an "emergency" of some sort which will get me out of the whole thing. I hate to be dishonest but I am being forced into a corner as my needs and feelings are essentially being disregarded and belittled. Any thoughts or suggestions?
