Thanksgiving

This year I had so much to be thankful for and was ready to celebrate with my family. We started the day out with my dad's family. It was awful. My dad and his girlfriend took it upon themselves to feed my 6 month old baby cornbread. Needless to say I went all crazy mama bear on them. Then my family told me I needed to apologize. Um no I did not. My dad gave my child an allergen that he is not to have until 1 year of age, behind my back. They disrespected me not vice versa. Then my dad cornered me in the kitchen, got in my face, said "It's fucking food, fuck you, and that I owed him an apology." Ummm again No you crazy people! So we left there me a shaking, crying mess wondering if I would be spending Thanksgiving in the hospital praying for my child. Luckily he was not allergic. I still have not received an apology from my dad or his girlfriend. In fact his girlfriend sent me two very rude messages about the situation and her daughter threatened me on facebook. CLASSY! Needless to say I have cut them all out of my life. I do not need my dad's crap anymore. He has never been nice to me and in the past I've been nearly arrested for Grand Theft Auto because he gave me a car and decided he wanted it back now while I was hours away with no way to get it to him. So this may seem bad but it is good to have all of the negativity and fear of his next blowup out of my life. I feel sorry for him and sorry for my son, but that's about it. Thank God my Father in Law is the greatest, kindest most wonderful man I have ever met.
The next two meals we attended were Awesome. I'm so lucky to have my Mom. She is really the best. My husband's family is also amazing and it was great to be around people who didn't think I was the one who needed to apologize. It made me feel less insane.
So Zach's first Thanksgiving was dramatic to say the least. I am so Thankful to have this baby in my life and I will do anything to keep him feeling safe and loved.
