    Font - To my surprise, When I arrived I noticed that my husband was having his meeting at the same place, his table was right in the corner and he had about 4 men sitting with him. My parents and the guests saw him as well. I waved for him and he saw me but ignored me. He obviously was as much as surprised as I was.

    Font - You absolutely did. He called me ignorant and accused me of tampering with his work but I responded that ignoring mine and my family's presence was unacceptable. You are and you did. You and your family's response and lack of support is what is unacceptable. You and your parents are adults, it is your jobs to manage your feelings. Your sister is 18 not 6. She should understand although you typed all this out and still has to ask if you are the assh SO....
