don't pretend nothing happened
Quote From: ritehere Find out when the meal is going to be served and arrive and hour or so before that. After the meal, stay another hour or so and then leave. If this takes place in another town just say you have to get back. Or take the kids somewhere, a movie, anything. If it goes well you have the option of staying longer. If not, you have a plan to get out of there. You showed yourself, the kids got to see the relatives and vice/versa, you're not there long enough for confrontations. The trick is to control the situation. Just because you are invited doesn't mean you have to stay til the bitter end. I wouldnt' go for very long, and I wouldn't pretend nothing happened, If it were me, i would never talk to her again, that would be unforgivable, and when your son grows up, he will understand that too I would imagine. If you go and pretend nothing happened your son will learn this behavior as well, it's not good to keep things in. A child belongs with his/her mother.
