This is my first holiday season officially divorced. I am presantly dating a great guy. Its not serious. We have established a great friendship. He has expressed to me that he will be alone on Thanksgiving. I would love to invite him to my parents but how do I ask them if he can come? My parents are italian catholics and had a hard time accepting that their "baby" got divorced. Everytime I see my dad he stll cries and tells me things will be ok.. I have to laugh becasue I have never been better. I am finally free from 15 years of emotional abuse. So my question is do I ask my parents if I can bring a friend? Do I tell them I am brining a friend? Or do I just not invite him.
I really really want him to come. My son loves to talk sports with him. I just dont want to make my parents uncomfortble. FYI..many times over the years my parents have invited people for thanksgiving from their church who would be home alone.
any ideas and how do I ask?
I feel like I"m in high school again lol

Ask him. The worst he can say is no thanks.

I think she is worried about asking her parents, instead of him. They do not approve of her being divorced.
Peace - just ask your parents... if they say no, then maybe you'll have to make a decision on whether you want to go someplace where your friend(s) wouldn't be accepted due to YOUR marital status.

Ask your parents...explain that he is a really good friend, great person who would otherwise be alone for Thanksgiving.

thanks for all the advice
Well I emailed my MOM today.....
and asked her if there was an extra seat at the table for a friend.....Well she was thrilled...lol
I never expected it. She asked 100 questions about "my friend" but was thrilled I was bringing someone. Wow I am still shocked about her reaction
I hope it all goes well

Okay, does your mom know that your 'friend' is a MAN that you're dating? LOL

so next question...My mom has tons and TONS of pictures of me and my X in her house. Do I tell her to begin to take them down. I know it wont bother my bf but it bothers me. I hate looking at them.

I'd tell her to take them down. That's the first thing my parents did after I left XH, but they obviously have good reason to despise the man anyway. :)
I don't think it's inappropriate at all to ask them to take pics of you and your x down.
