The last two Thanksgivings my husband and I have spent alone. Two years ago was when my daughter was behaving strangely, told me she was sick and did not want to come. (Found out she had been up all night smoking crack with the neighbor man downstairs from her.) Last year we did not invite her, had a nice dinner by ourselves and then went to her house and kidnapped her dog, Petey. Petey is still with us and this year I did invite the daughter (but not the abf) and she said that she will come. Not banking on it and if she does I don't think she will stay long. It is hard to look at her as she has started to look the part of an addict. So whether she comes or not, my husband and I will have a nice dinner and so will my five furry babies. Hugs, Marle
