Hi Mama. I think that sooner or later we all have those downer kind of parties in our repertoire. Bummer, huh?
I can understand your disappointment and discomfort, but I wonder if you had gone from the party to some other place, (like a restaurant with your husband), would the end result have been the same? Sort of like salvaging the evening.
Was the talk on the ride home all negative, and thus feeding into the anxiety situation?
