I split up with my DH 2 yrs ago. We have two children age 10 & 12 who live with me but see their dad every other weekend. We have had the last two Christmases together as a family of four for the kids sake. This year the children have said they would like to spend Xmas just with me. Their dad is very unhappy about this & blames me. He is annoyed I spoke to them without consulting him. (I've suggested Xmas Eve & Day with me & Boxing Day & 27th with him) I want whatever makes Xmas magic for the children - whatever part I do or don't play - although obviously I'm human & I'd love to be with them. Don't know what is the right/best thing. Don't want the children to feel any stress or pressure & would rather he wasn't unhappy but how much of that can I take on! Dreading Xmas already & not even December.
