I nearly broke down at the library I took dd to one of the clubs there and we did xmas songs/activities and then they got xmas cards, I had to hold back the tears. I keep thinking yes i'm strong and I'm going to be ok and then its hit me again today that the shit has left us both. When he was here yesterday he had the gall to cry coz he was missing out on the putting up of xmas decs with us and how all of this was hurting him er did he expect my sympathy he was the one who chose to leave!!!, I asked him weeks ago to take all his stuff and its all still here, my dd is going to have to move her home. Then he asked about the presents I had bought for his family and what I was doing with them so I told him I would still give them but they would be from dd, he had the cheek to say to put them from all of us!!! er why we are not a family anymore!! my tears are now drying

You poor thing, it must be very hard for you especially this time of year. Keep doing lots of lovely xmas things together with your dd as she really needs you too.

Im so sorry.

Whenever you're feeling low just try and remember that anger. He chose to leave without giving you a chance. Then he has the cheek to cry because he's missing out! WFT! What does he expect you to do, comfort him?!!

I know how hard this is I really do. My H left this time last year and already the memories of what I went through last Christmas are starting to overwhelm me.

I try to focus on the anger. Then bury it and focus on ds and focus on being happy without him. If you let the sadness take over it's difficult to carry on sometimes.

I'm sorry you are going through this. Tell him to buy his own damn presents

Baffy · 03/12/2007 12:26

That should be WTF!!

But can't type properly through my anger for you!!

oh tlv i cant believe he cried infront of you, hes trying to make you feel bad for what hes put you through, my ex is very good at that aswell, but he will never cry infront of me nor will he show any emotion round me! I think you should carry on holding your head high, hes the one who split the family up not you, and i`m sure he will come running back to you soon as he sounds really unhappy with his choice.
Lots of hugs for you x x x

mummyofaprincess · 03/12/2007 13:14

tlv are you dreading xmas like me? i know ill be so happy to see dd happy etc but when it comes to dinner time i know ill have to go upstairs and cry either before dinner or after as i cant remember having xmas dinner without him, i feel so stupid that i put myself through this as hes made it very clear he doesn`t want me or the family

mummyofaprincess · 03/12/2007 13:23

Also i forgot to add, just pack your exs stuff ready for the next time you see him, like all his clothes, as i did this as my xp was the same he didnt want to take them, and then just hand them to him, if he doesnt take them then tell him take them or the bin men will, im sure he will get the message
Or could you get one of his family members to pick them up and take them to him?

Big hugs to everyone at this time of year[] Focus on your lovely DC xxxxx
