Christmas starts tomorrow. I have the kids over New Years Day this year.
Grateful
This is the first Christmas/New Years holiday break in two years that I didn’t have to ask for visitation. I didn’t have to drive to my ex-wife’s resident city to visit with the children. I’m grateful.
I’m grateful for my support system. That period was hard. I needed constant reassurance that the system, the arrangement [temporary court order] was broken. It was wrong. It was unfair.
The system severely impaired a loving father’s ability to co-parent. It was a system where the children would lose.
I couldn’t make sense of it.
There’s parts of our story I’ll never understand — but will impulsively try.
