Simple; If they cannot go to the party because of circumstances, then let them not attend . . . let them go . . . 

This is a perfect example of how sin and selfishness destroys families (the devils favorite target other than churches)

I don't get it.  You've left out some context that would help.

I can't tell who is the bad guy or good guy.

  • Is the son the bad guy because he divorced one woman and married another?  Or because he won't socialize with his ex-wife? Or for arguing with his dad?
  • Is the dad the bad guy because he is forcing his son, daughter-in-law, and ex-DIL to uncomfortably socialize together?  Or because he takes delight in that? Or because he is using profanity?

Don't worry if I don't get it.  Just explain it to me.

If this is narrated in a religious setting (which I understand is the case because of the Forum it is on), I can quite agree. Marriage is a new union that supersedes father and family.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (Gen.2:24)

For whatever reason the divorce occurred I cannot judge, but once the sad deed is complete, the husband must look after his wife BEFORE he fulfills family duty.

The original question was- he got divorced and remarried. His parents were still close with his ex and would invite her to family dinners and he wanted them to stop and was asking if he was wrong to.

The issue is to determine who you think was correct in said situation. Father or son.

I can see both perspectives and I was going to actually side with the son and his wife...until I saw he had kids with his first which changes everything. Kids need a relationship with their biological mom...step mom just needs to learn to deal with it.

Blessings creative

So if I'm following the story then the ex- wife is the mother of the sons children, is that right?It seems Diane is the new wife, Lisa is the ex.... So the Dad invites people to the sons house?

Im sorry, its very confusing, the Dad tells the son to have the new wife make a salad so he, his mother, children & ex- wife can go to his sons house or is he requesting everyone come to his house & Diane bring a salad?

Okay,if the event is at the Dads house then I think Diane should send over a salad & her husband to see his parents & his children if she doesn't want to be around her husbands ex( this scenario makes sense as the son said" have fun without us" so it can't be at their house

They should act like adults for the kids(IMO)

The swear word isn't needed on a Christian message board. The father should respect the fact that inviting the ex would make the current wife incomfortable. The conseqences are losing the company of his son. The father could always invite the ex to another event that his son will not be attending.

I think missmuffet here has the definitive answer.  Including the unneccesary use of profanity on a Christian board.

If you marry someone knowing they have children with a divorced spouse then expect to see that person at family events. It's part of the package. Deal with it.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
