My kids just left to spend the rest of Christmas with their Father and his family. Although this is the norm for me now, been doing this for a few years, it still sucks.
When my kids walk out the door and get into his car, I still have this overwhelming feeling of sadness and emptiness. I thought it would get easier....boy was I wrong.

i'm there with you. i should be used to it after this long, but it still sucks. and this year, my 3 older ones got to spend the day with their father and his girlfriend's family. i'm so tired of hearing about how wonderful she is.........*gag* i guess i should be grateful that she seems to be a decent human being, albeit stupid for being with him.
whatever.

I feel it too, but this year, I tried not to make a big deal out of Christmas - to myself. After I dropped the kids off, I put on a grown-up movie, cleaned a little, drank some Baileys and relaxed. Whenever I got homesick for the kids, I reminded myself that they will be back soon and I should enjoy the quiet while I have it.
I still felt sad, but it helped......A LOT!

My step-son was supposed to be at our house by 9am. He arrived after 10am. We just pretended it didn't happen. He just had to eat cold breakfast.
