HIS Family

Ok, so my ex's mother, Nanci, has invited me and my son to her daughter, Emily's, birthday party this Saturday. They've decided to host it at the beach and I'm thinking that's probably because Eric is back down at the beach, so they're hoping that he'll show up for it if they host it at the beach. Nanci has been trying to get me and Eric to hang out for the longest time since she found out about the divorce so... Anyway, I've been thinking about it and I've decided that maybe we'll go ahead and go to the party. Afterall, it's for Emily and there's going to be plenty of people there so I won't have to talk to Eric if he shows up at all. Plus, it'll be good for Jonathan because he loves the beach and we'll be able to get out of the house for the afternoon. After thinking about it for a couple days, I also came to the conclusion that if his father does show up at this party then, cool because it'll be good for Jonathan to at least get to see him occassionally. And it gives me a chance to tell him what happened in court and when the trial date is and everything, so if he truly does want his son in his life, he better be there and get his act together. Ok, so I do want the chance to rub his face in his mistakes but I think I'm entitled to a little gloating and all now, especially after everything that man has put me through. Besides, it's only a little anger and hate that I'll take out on him... Is it wrong to want a little revenge and to take it by gloating like that? I'm going to be polite and civil because that's just how I was raised but I think it's time that he realized that I'm not a doormat and he can't walk all over me anymore. Everything is coming to an end for us now and the only thing he has left with me, is his son.
