Does anyone else dread the “firsts” during separation?
Your first birthday after separating when you would normally do something nice with your H and have a little family party.
Halloween (when you would both be costume shopping and trick or treating together with your child) I’ve left the family home and in the old street Halloween was a huge deal.
And…dreaded Christmas! I normally love Christmas. This year I am dreading it. I don’t know how the logistics will work. Thinking of our last Christmas as a family is so painful. The old family home was all the children ever knew.
Nothing will ever be the same. It’s very painful.
How to get through all of these firsts without becoming overwhelmed in sadness 😔 All I can think about is my old family home and my old life. Even school shopping today was depressing!
