Dealing with the Holidays td7629: Hello Everyone... I am looking for some advice on what some of you do with rotating the holidays with your ex and your kids... this year will be the first time I do not have my sons for Thanksgiving and Christmas... I know this is just going to kill me. (Especially the thought of my boys waking up with their dad and the OW) My sons have also expressed their anxiety over it.. Does anyone have any good ideas to help us..I want to be as positive as I can about this horrible situation...
Re: Dealing with the Holidays CDNgurl: Last Christmas was my first holiday without my daughter.. and it was hard. What I did was made a really big deal out of boxing day, and made that our Christmas (she was returned to me at 11 am that day). My whole family supported this (my mom, sister & niece) and we opened our gifts etc that day.
When she left, she cried and cried, and I was really surprised because she never cries when she leaves... and I had actually made peace with the whole thing.
Your sons will probably be upset, but you will need to stay as positive as possible. Remind them how important it is to spend time with daddy too and try not to cry...
