I have Christmas day off this year because it ended up that way on the schedule, so I plan to have dinner with my 2 kids and significant other. When my kids were small growing up, they were ordered by a judge to go to their dads house every year over schools Christmas vacation. I literally did not see my kids for over 2 weeks at Christmas from the time they were 2 yrs old until they were both 17 and refused to go. He only lived 15 miles away. He refused to let me see them for the holidays. Now he and his wife are divorced and he never aknowledges the kids. I get severely depressed every year at Christmas now even though my 2 adult kids are with me. I cannot seem to get past it, so this year, I went all out and spent a fortune and arranged a dinner and am trying not to spend Christmas crying. What else can I do to make me get past this old baggage? My daughter and son deserve for me to be happy. They are 18 and 21 yrs old now. I dont wanna be sad anymore. I cant help it.

Christmas is a sad season anyway and your experience seems to have made it more sad for you. Your children seem to want to be with you now instead of Dad so that should make you verrrrry happy. That also means that you will probably get to spend quality as well as quantity time with you Grand babies when they arrive and believe you me that is the BEST. Your ex will suffer for his evil ways of the past. Just remember what goes around comes around!

Have a family Christmas.
Do they know why you're sad?
If they don't, tell them. Then if you do end up crying then they'll understand and you'll end up laughing and having a great time.
It's just a lingering feeling and most likely you'll get over it.
Enjoy your Christmas with your kids!
