Thursday Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 This is the first time I have spent Thanksgiving alone for the last 27 years. My husband and I separated last Oct. 18th (by his choice). Tonight all of his family is gathering at his sister's place and he will be there, with his new girlfriend. My family is not in town and, in any case, we always spent Thanksgiving with his family. Damn, I feel so shut out. So very alone. I understand that it's not his family's fault. I'm sure this is awkward for them. But thinking of them sitting at that table, where I sat for so many years, sharing dinner and laughs and all......boy, it's really hard to choke that back. I suppose this time of year is going to be hard for awhile.
River Rain Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 I'm sorry you feel so alone I know how you feel. I just spent my twelfth Thanksgiving alone. I think it's 12 years now. It was my choice to be alone for so many years, but this year I felt it even more because of my recent breakup. I did feel lonely yesterday, but I decided to just make the turkey, stuffing, taters etc...for myself. I set the table and had a great meal while I watched a movie. I wanted to try to be festive despite things. 1
