Last night our neighbours called. They want us to come over on New Years Eve. I haven't decided if I want to go or not because Im still kinda upset because everyone in the neighbourhood bailed on us when DH got cancer. Some of them still run away and take off in the garage when they see us coming. Its just really weird and very uncomfortable. They will all be there.
What would you do ?

Wow, well, that is a tough situation. Does your description of the neighbor's behavior include the one who called and invited you? If not, then they invited you because they want to see you, so if you and DH are up to it, then a celebration might be a nice thing. It's too bad that your neighbors feel that awkward that they are behaving that way because your husband got sick, how sad...I guess you need to look over the situation as a whole, did the neighbors invite you to a party for the whole neighborhood, or did they invite just you and DH over for a quiet celebration? If it is going to involve all your neighbors, and you feel too awkward, well, the neighbor in question is reaching out to you. Maybe it is an opportunity for you and your husband to show the neighborhood that you're ok, I don't know....whatever decision you make, I wish you a blessed and happy new year, and good health for your husband.........

Well, why not go. Did you ever think that they to, felt weird and uncomfortable about the cancer thing? Some people, actually most people, avoid those kinds of things because they don't know what to say.
