I'm sorry if this is a little long.
I知 so nervous about Thanksgiving.
For those who don稚 know, my SO and I dated for a year and four months in high school. We were going to move in together and all that jazz. Then we broke up in July because of multiple issues: feeling pressured by our families, me feeling a little smothered, issues with another guy (that is embarrassing to say - not cheating, just being too flirty), and not knowing if our high school romance would make it. I moved; he stayed. I realized my wrongdoings, and he realized his. We got back together in September, are taking it slow, and are closer than ever emotionally, even though we are not close distance. We are both completely happy in our relationship and are taking everything one step at a time.
My mother is happy that I知 happy and says she saw the reunion coming. My father is coming to terms with the idea.
He says his mother is okay with everything that has happened. But I am still nervous. I will be staying at her house, where he stays but pays her rent, for a little bit over Thanksgiving break. I知 extremely nervous to see her for the first time after everything that happened. She used to love me, called me her second daughter, bought me presents, ect. Now I am not sure what her reaction will be. She knows about our issues and everything that happened. How do I know she won稚 think I知 a bad person? He thinks I should not worry. But I can稚 help feeling insecure.
I知 not exactly sure what I知 asking here. I just figured you all could help me by either validating my concerns and making me feel less crazy or telling me I知 being too self-conscious.
Thanks for your time.

Just take a deep breath, what's done has been done right? If your SO said his mother is okay with everything, then I wouldn't worry. I wouldn't worry about how she thinks because you can move on from what happened and by your actions and words now you can show how everything has been fixed. Sometimes when we worry so much about things, we convince ourselves that something is true or is bound to happen when in reality its not as big of a deal. I bet everything will be just fine, just enjoy the time you have for the holiday.
