It was an invite... He is always always always late showing up to stuff and known for last minute hey lets go eat dinner random phone calls BUT umm it was Christmas geezzz heck for Thanksgiving he called me the night before and said I am bringing food over to your house for dinner tomorrow, ok... Of course I said sure no problem if I am not home yet you have a key to my house. And he knows it is there because he even saw the stuff for her and their pup when I showed him everything in Nov.
As far as your family... Sadly it sounds like some of my Holy Roller type family members that I just do not mix well with. I would THINK family would want you to be happy and healthy instead of being alone or staying with somebody that made you unhappy and stressed which then just lead to illness's BUT as always I have my own opinion about things it seems lol and what kills me is half the time some of those type are guilty of doing what they plan you for so to make them feel better they accuse and belittle others... Sad.
As I have learned in life just because she supplied the egg and the incubator for 9 months doesn't always make her a mother.... Oh btw I also have warped views and opinions of things too if I forgot to mention
