What a lovely lesson to teach your children. Allow abusive people in your life.

You don’t have to cook dinner for your abusers.

Wow, I’m impressed! My children’s father and I have been divorced for 14 years and only in the last few years have I been able to effectively control my irritation and discomfort around him. My kids (now 19 and 16) usually go to his house for thanksgiving because they have a big family get together and it’s very low key at mine. They’ll spend most of Christmas with me. We’re all happy with that arrangement.

Surely it's your ex husband who is the "home wrecker"?

Good job mamma putting your children’s feelings first. Not all can.

OMG all the babies crying because she got high on Thanksgiving, but I bet you’d be cool if she said she had wine or beer. I got high too, who cares!

And they said women have no emotional restraint… YOU GO GIRL!

Are people on threads capable of being supportive? This woman did something emotionally difficult for the sake of her children. Of course she will hold some resentment towards the woman that likely actively and knowingly participated in the act of deceiving and disrespecting her. Of course she's also happy that the man who betrayed her is also still a good enough father to her children that they want to see him on thanksgiving. Both can be true, cheaters can still be great parents

As a daughter whose mother extended the same invitations to family gatherings to my father (not the girlfriend though), I can tell you your children are grateful and that was such an expression of love for them. It really meant to a lot to me, and it continued all the way through adulthood when there were weddings, graduations and new babies. Those peaceful gatherings with both my parents coexisting were so important. I fully realize how hard that was for her and appreciate it so much.
