CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
| Mon, 12-11-2006 - 11:45am |
My daughter has her Christmas program at church on Sunday. My ex husband hasn't been able to go to any of the kids events since our separation because he drives truck and his days at home haven't worked with the event schedules. So, he will be here on Sunday and I already feeling like crying because I just know that the emotions are going to run rampid when he comes to the church and is sitting there watching our little girl in her play and we aren't the "family" that sat there last year. I hate all this emotion all the time! It's easier when he's not around, but I also know that with everything that he's missed with kids that he will be so looking forward to being there. It's not that I don't want him there, either. It's just that I don't know if I will be able to keep my emotions in check.

Yes, that is hard. I had my first this Fall at our son's soccer game--and I had to endure it every weekend! It is hard, but one thing that helped me is that I solely focused on my kid--I had so much joy watching him that in the end, I didn't care about the ex or even care to watch him.
I know it's hard. My 6 yr old son just came home this Sunday after his visitation and said "Guess what, daddy has a date tonight" It was horrible hearing that and it made me realize that the things we attend together will get tougher, in that he will eventually start bringing a significant other to these things. But again, just focus on why you are their--for your child.
Good luck
