Help

Hello. I need some advice. Next month I'll be forced into a very uncomfortable situation. I am starting to become very nervous and anxious about this ordeal, but I hope you guys here at dxpnet can help me with this somewhat pathetic dilemma.
So next month I'll be going to a high school orientation for my younger sister. It would be very exciting to see all my former teachers and classrooms and things. Except for the fact that my ex will be there with her younger brother, father and new girlfriend. I have no idea how to handle this situation. I was really close to the brother and somewhat close to the dad and I don't want to ignore them because it would seem rude, and I don't want to go and talk to them because my ex and I broke up on hostile terms. Idk what to do and I'm starting to lose sleep over this stupid thing. Any advice?

you'll be alright. unless you still have feelings for your ex, you should be able to go in there, meet and greet with no problem.. pisces are good at keeping the poker face, so just go in there with your head held high and do what you gotta do for your sister. your ex shouldnt even be a thought your in your head.

I say approach the situation straight up. It'll be awkward for her just as it'll be for you. Don't hide, be strong.

@Al4813 thank you... I know that you're right. I guess I'm just nervous. idk if the new girlfriend would try to confront me... My ex wouldn't do it by himself. But his new girlfriend is this crazy stripper who loves drama... She loves to stir up trouble even if it's about something that happened 9 decades ago. I don't want to look dumb and do my typical "walk away."... I don't even want to be associated with them. I just don't know what to say if they were to say anything to me. Do you have any advice?

@heartofalion what do you think I should say if they do decide to start drama? I think walking away wouldn't work.. They would just follow... His new girlfriend is ridiculous and I don't know how to handle people like that.

@donamanmarat you are probably right when you say that he has probably told his family all sorts of wrong things about me. I hadn't thought about that...

Smile and wave, say hello if you feel like it to keep things on friendly terms, and then just go about your business like they're not even there. It's not about them or the former relationship, it's about the kids and what they'll be going through. No reason at all to lose your chill over the situation.

If one of them approaches you for civil conversation you might as well engage as a nice person. If someone wants to be nasty you can always just walk away. They can't do anything to hurt you unless you let them.

Unless she plans on putting her hands on you, I agree with TMV. Just walk away if they are talking trash. It's not worth it. Approach them and say hello. Then go about your business. And I thought your ex was a girl, my bad. You don't owe them anything, you're just being nice.

@tmv and @heartofalion you guys are right. Above everything it's about my sister and her new school... I have to brush the drama to one side no matter what. It's just always hard seeing an ex and not knowing what to expect. I hope that everything goes smooth... I'm just sensitive I guess.

Dress up. It's hard to swing on a woman in heels with her makeup done and cute hair. It would scream insecurity and jealousy. Trust me if you are drop dead gorgeous the new girlfriend is going to be too busy seeing if the boyfriend is checking you out.

Worse case bring some mace.

Thank you guys so much for your support like you have no idea how much this has been bothering me and now I smiled and then almost cried seeing how much of a response you guys have given me. I'm starting to become a little more confident than I had been...
To be quite honest and frank with you guys, this ex is actually a girl.. I have no idea how you guys figured that one out but it's true.
@CC yes she's a Virgo. Both her parents and her grandfather are Virgo too.
@jeannegrey, I had been feeling strange since that incident from church a while back we talked about... And you are right after all this time I do see exactly what you're saying... In the moment it felt like death but now as time has gone by I can say that God didn't want him in my life. Thank you Ms. grey(:
