How do I handle Christmas this year?
Ex h moved out in April. We are mid divorce. He loves the kids and sees them as much as possible given the situation.
My parents are close with the kids, even though they currently live 3 hours away. His mum will probably go to her daughters for xmas so she's out of the picture.
My parents can't stand ex (understandingly) and would not be able to fake it for the kids.
How does on do christmas for the kids, when the family is broken?
My parents would either be staying with me or in a hotel near by. And probably my brother too.
Ex h will want to be with kids when they wake on xmas morning.
Does he just arrive before they've woken and stay in kitchen till kids wake up?
Do I make my parents stay in a souless hotel waiting for me to give them the all clear?
It all feels impossible.
