I Can Forgive But Never Forget

Just over a year ago, I've experienced some family issues with my brother-inlaw. Hurtful words were exchanged resulting in me storming out with the kids. Since that day I have never seen them nor have I spoken to them. It took a while for me to get over the pain inflicted by this separation but as time passed us by I learned to toughen up and move on. I have forgiven them within myself but I struggle with trying to forget the whole incident.
Over the year I have avoided any contact with them, only because the scars are healing itself now I dont want to rehash old feelings. Tonight I've booked the kids, together with my mother-inlaw for a comedy show, only to hear that they will also be there. I am just so confused about my feelings, how will it all go down? I dislike feeling uncomfortable, I can tell this is how I am going to feel the entire night.

Ugh! This is a hard sitchuation, if I were you I would maybe phone him before the show and see where he's at now, that way you can at least know that you tried and your mother in law will be able to see that too
