“I have Tom blocked on everything. All of the mutual friends know the score and are good at keeping things separate, and I am dating again,” she revealed.
So anyway, this past Thanksgiving, she showed up at her parent’s house as usual and expected to have a traditional holiday dinner. Lo and behold, though, as soon as she walked in, she saw Tom and his now toddler son sitting in the living room!
Apparently, her ex stood up “all happy” to see her and went to say hello. But she was shell-shocked and immediately turned around, walked out of the house, got into her car, and drove back to her hotel.
Soon after, she received a call from her mother asking where she had gone and why she had left. But she basically told her mom to stop playing dumb.
“I told her she knew damn well why, and I asked why Tom was there,” she recalled.
It then came out that her parent’s still considered Tom and his son to be family and did not want to father-son pair to be alone on Thanksgiving.
And even though she kind of understands that, she still questioned why her mother conveniently forgot to mention that she was about to run into her ex in her own childhood living room.
And at that point, her mom faltered. First, her mom stalled on the phone, then her mom admitted to knowing that she would not want to see Tom on the holiday.
So, her mom claims to have set up the surprise just to get her there– because, apparently, her parents are convinced that she still loves Tom.
Moreover, they thought that if she could just see “how great” everything was going with him, then she and her ex would end up reconciling their relationship.
Understandably, though, her mom’s meddling just infuriated her. First of all, she does not want to be a step-parent right now, especially not in this particular situation. On top of that, she has already moved on!
