I think what you may be searching for is an emotional connection, something more than an update on everyone's whereabouts. I feel that more with my husband's family (the connection) than my own, hmmm, maybe that is why I'm the one in therapy. Just being together is enough. With my family, it's hard to just "be". I like an activity so we can "do" something besides have a glass of wine or two. There is just too much disconnect with my parents. They don't "get it"
or "get me". I hope this was some sort of help.
In other words, the connection you feel with your T, you'd like to feel with your family, the closeness. But glad you had the party. That helps you maybe feel more connected? Your son probably will appreciated it, although maybe doesn't show it.
