H supposed to be coming to pick up daughter for dinner tonight...my dilemma is should I be home when he comes or out. Dont want to seem to available if you know what I mean..but I also want to make sure things go smoothly with daughter, she is 17 so I think she can handle herself....
I find it very strained being in the same room with him. Not sure what to say or how to act???
After being with him for 25 years....dont understand why thats so difficult.
I am hoping that he gets out of this MLC.....but not counting on it, he is definately in a world of his own making right now....and it doesnt include us too much...even these visits have an"obligatory" undertone to them. He never calls here to see how they are or just to say hi to them, hasnt called them since he left.<p>Any thoughts.....thanks in advance

Based on what you have said (although I don't know the whole story). I think you should not be there. <p>...I find it very strained being in the same room with him.
...he is definately in a world of his own making right now....and it doesnt include us too much<p>He may wonder where you are or why your not there - plus it takes your focus off him and onto taking care of yourself.
