There has been major drama regarding my SO's mom's 50th anniversary party. She has made racist remarks about my kids and I have cussed her out twice (see previous blogs for details).
Today, SO's sister called and said "My mom is very sorry for offending you. She would love for you and all of your kids including your daughters to come to her anniversary party. Wouldn't you Mom?" And then I hear SO's mom say "Yes" in the background. I told her I would think about it.
I know damn well SO's mom doesn't want my kids at her party and probably not me either at this point.

So background is that SO's parents are having a 50th anniversary party. It originally was going to be a big to do in SO's home state. SO's dad found out he has lung cancer and can't travel, so they scaled back and will be having the party here in the state where they retired to and we live. In the course of scaling back, they dis-invited my two oldest children (but not BM!), which pissed me off but I haven't said anything to them due to the circumstances.

SO's parents will have been married 50 years this summer. Due to his dad having lung cancer they have changed location and scaled their party back. My two oldest children (both adults 18&19) have been cut from the guest list, but BM has not. I was already feeling uneasy about BM being there in the first place, and now my kids are cut from the list? Oh and I forgot to say, that my DD's birthday is the same weekend and we had moved her plans to the following weekend to accommodate everyone going to their party.

SO's mom called with the devastating news that his father has lung cancer. SO got off the phone with his mom and was quiet for a little while. Then he says "I don't know what I'll do if my dad dies. What if my mom got remarried and I had to have a stepfather? That would be awful!"
I am obviously sympathetic to the fact that he was probably in shock, but really? That's the most awful part about your dad dying? You might someday have to have a stepparent when you are a grown man? Crazy, huh?
