Quasi-Invited

My son will graduate college next month.  

I'm stoked!   Proud, happy, feeling good for him.  

My stbx emailed asking if I intended to participate in a post graduation party for him.   This will consist of a BBQ at my stbxmil's house. 

It's out-of-state.   My stbxmil sent me a vicious Christmas card.  Apparently she doesn't realize my stbx was cheating on me for at least the second time (second partner). 

I discovered it, and filed for divorce.   My stbxsil was planning on calling me and giving me a piece of her mind as well. 

I guess she doesn't know the truth either. 

Here's the deal:  I don't want anything to mess up my son's graduation day.  If I get told one thing negative against me, I knew I'd tell my side of the story.    So after giving it some thought, I booked my flight, car rental, and motel reservation.  I'll land at 9:44 pm, and leave at 4:22 pm the next day. 

I'll be there just long enough to see him graduate, then out of town - anything hits the fan- It's not my fault.  

Stbx wants to go in halves on his graduation present.  I don't think so.  I'll get him something on my own, thank you very much. 

We're not together anymore.  I'll miss being able to celebrate.  I figure that was just another thing my stbx stole from me when she decided to cheat.   I'll recover.  I'll handle myself with class.  In the end, my actions will speak for themselves.  And life goes on......
