Ex wife

[Monikam470]

I am in a relationship with my husband who is once divorced .
We have two small children together and I am a stepmom to his 3 children and I live with two of them in the same house .
Recently I was invited to spend xmas together to his ex wife s house in France . I agreed for the sake of our children . Ex wife is very friendly with me and my children . Do you find yourself in that situation and would you have accepted or declined the invitation ?

If everything is amicable and it won't spoil your Christmas then I'd do it if you want to. My ex dp comes in for a festive drink when he picks our DS up on Christmas Day.

I think that's lovely personally and I would definitely accept if you're able and don't already have other plans. My parents divorced when I was 8 and my dad had a long term live in partner after that (they never married). We spent every holiday with her as a big family and she and my mum became good friends. From the perspective of being a child, it was the best possible situation that the family got to be together and everyone was really pleasant about it and there was no drama. She and my dad eventually split after about 8 years, but I still keep in touch with her today 20 years later as does my mum (my dad passed away when I was 18).
