My mom is still in the hospital recovering from having had a blood clot removed from her brain.
She is doing so much better but still cannot walk on her own.
My husband wants us to go and celebrate thanksgiving at his parents home but all i want to do is stay home because there is no way i can make it to the hospital today to see my mom. (I visited her last night)
Would you go to someone else's home or just stay home?

I'm glad to hear your mom is doing better.I agree with your husband that you should celebrate Thanksgiving with his family.Your mom would not expect you to put your life on hold while she is recovering.You will accomplish nothing by staying home by yourself but feel down in the dumps.Your husband's family will be able to give you emptional support.You will also get a bit of something "normal and safe" in your stressful life right now.This situation with your mom has been difficult for your husband and you son as well.Celebrating Thanksgiving with them and your inlaws will also be good for you as a family.By celebrating Thanksgiving with your husband's family you are letting them know that they are also important in your life.It will in no way minimize your concerns about your mom.Try to have a enoyable Thanksgiving.be greatful your mom is here and know that you are doing your best.Take care.

It's very hard to celebrate the holidays when someone you love is in the hospital, and in this case it's your mom. I think you should spend today with your mom. Be close to her and let her know you are there. Even if you go for a couple of hours, you will regret it if you don't. There will always be time for celebration with other family members. Right now your mom takes importance over everyone.

Enjoy the day. Go to ur In-Laws and enjoy ur day. If u have time later go and visit ur mom to make urself feel better. She is in good hands. She would want u to enjoy urself and go out. I know u feel bad I know I would but u have to live ur life too. As long as u see her every to every other day ur fine. There is nothin more u can do but to visit and also have a life of ur own to do things while she is getting better. If it was me I would go to my In-Laws or wherever u have plans. Have fun. I know it's easier said than done but try to have fun and enjoy ur other loved ones. Happy thanksgiving.
