I get my son Christmas Eve and Christmas morning, then at noon he goes to his mom's. Makes for a sad and lonely Christmas afternoon and evening.

don't be so emotional over this....truly I'm sorry for you but have lots of friends and family over for the entire holiday time. x-mas eve and x-mas day even when your son is there.....let me share an experience with you that occured in our household in 2002 on christmas day.....my husbands divorce decree stated the child would be with her mom on x-mas eve and then we were to pick her up at their rental house at 11am on x-mas day.
when we drove all the way across town, 45 min away, we get there and find out they are not there. they are still at the mom's new boyfriends house....so we put a note of the front door and told the x-wife to bring the child over. well 2 hrs go by and finally the phone rings and its her stating if you want to see the child you'll need to pick her up...so once again on x-mas day we drive all the way back up there to pick her up....x-mas day is now half over.
well this day turned out to be a mess and a sad situation because the child just wanted to get her gifts and leave.
she has been brain washed by her mom against her dad for years.....we have not seen this child since 2002.
she is now 16 yrs old. spend time with family and friends.

Sorry, but it never gets any easier, just look forward to when you will see them again. Just know they are having fun and that is what you really want, right? Know that he loves you and try to think of it as a normal day. I have been doing this for 12 years now and really try to find something to take my mind off of being lonely during the time I don't have them. You will get through it, I promise!

I hear you bud - I have my girls today December 23, then they go to their Mom's for both Christmas Eve and Christmas. Be thankful you have your son Christmas morning - make the most of it, and remind him you love him. Peace.

About the same number of divorced women will be crying because it is their ex's turn to have the kids for the Holiday. I have been there and cried myself sick because my ex had the kids and I was alone for Christmas. It works both ways.

thats sad, i feel for all the parents out there who have to only have there kids part of the day or none of the day. But, be thankful for the time you do have. My kids dont get to see there dad at all due to him being deceased...So, I know it may not help ease the pain much, but enjoy what you do get.......

be glad that you even get to see them. My ex-hus. does not let me see my kids at all, I gave him custody 3 years ago because i wanted to be fair and he was nice until he got custody, now he has cut me out, I only get to talk to them by phone for now, there will be a custody war soon. So thank God that you even get to see them.
