I'm sorry your children are being so unthoughful. Sometimes they just don't think about what they do. They don't realize how important they are to us. I'm 61 and. Only have one child and my husband. Both my parents have already died.

Last year is the first year I hadn't had Thanksgiving with her. She went to her dads. I cried I was so lonely without her. My husband and I aren't that close but we went out to eat. I was depressed all day.

But I agree that family dynamics change from year to year, so try to just get through this one before worrying ahead.
