I wanted our first Christmas to be better than any Christmas we've ever had.
I've worked my arse off since we've left ex to save for xmas and make sure the kids get everything they've asked for (I know this is stupid and that Christmas is not about the gifts)
I bought the best decorations we could afford (which tbh, wasn't much. We had to start to from scratch) My dad made us some stuff and let the kids paint and glitter it. I was really pleased with it all. It looked better than our house evr had since EX hated paying for decorations.
Then Ex put a video of his house on FB (which has been fully redecorated and refurnished with only the best curtosey of ex-sil) She's also bought him numerous all singing, all dancing x-mas decorations and a tree that makes ours look like a stick we've picked up from the park.
There's no way we could have afforded all of that and gifts and food for all the pets the kid's have collected since we've left.
I am (ridiculously, I know) upset about this. Why is it fair that he gets to keep all the furniture (which he then binned anyway) and not pay maintenance, leaving us skint, having to have paid for all new furniture and then get to have everything bought for him to make his house far more magical this Christmas than mine?
