Nearly four years ago, this 32-year-old woman got divorced from her 33-year-old now ex-husband. They do have kids together, an 11-year-old and a 7-year-old.
A year ago, her ex got remarried, and his new wife has a 12-year-old child from a past relationship. She is also pregnant right now.
Last Friday, her 11-year-old celebrated her birthday, so over the weekend, they had a party for her at a bowling alley.
Aside from her and her youngest child, her ex, his wife, his stepdaughter, a few friends, and some of their family members were all at the party.
She was talking to her mom and sister when her ex’s mom came up to them. Her ex’s mom made small talk, then said they were going to Florida on a Christmas vacation.
Her ex’s mom invited her to come on the family trip, and her youngest overheard the conversation and instantly pleaded with her to say yes.
She agreed to attend, and her youngest was so excited they scampered off to tell her oldest daughter the news.
Yesterday, her ex called her up in the afternoon to talk about how she was invited along on their family vacation for Christmas. She acknowledged that she would be coming, too.
Her ex mentioned his wife is unhappy with her going, and he didn’t understand why she said yes since they’re not married anymore.

“He responded with she [his wife] finds it disrespectful that I was even invited in the first place,” she explained.
She questioned her ex about whether she should give a hoot about his wife’s feelings, and he just asked if she really had to go with them. He added that he didn’t want her ruining the trip or creating issues for him.
“I told him that there won’t be any problems as long as he and his wife don’t start any problems,” she said.
“I even suggested that if she has a problem with me going on this trip, then maybe she could just stay home and that my kids are the only reason why I’m going.”
“Not wanting to continue this conversation I made up an excuse as to why I had to hang up and ended the call.”
She’s left wondering if it’s wrong of her to go on this trip. What do you think?
