It's my first christmas without DC this year since birth. My ex took me to court and it's his turn to have DC for four days over the whole period. I'm not really sure what to do with myself. I wondered what you all do when you don't have yours?
I'm not going to family as for various reasons I can't face the dysfunctionality there especially with DC and most friends are either with their kids, their families or away doing exciting things.
I am normally pretty resilient and good at planning or finding nice things to do, but for some reason I can't seem to find a possibility to do on my own. The timings of the handovers mean it's not quite enough time to go away properly myself either, or at least nowhere abroad :)
I would also say that I work really hard the rest of the year so I don't want to work on Christmas day as a volunteer or anything. I could do with a rest.
What shall I do? Recommendations? I was thinking about a retreat but they're all really expensive and tbh I'd rather see mates and not feel alone.
