These last few months have been very stressful but I have managed for the most part to keep it together despite the many changes that have been taking place.
But now I somehow have to get us through the Christmas holidays and into the New Year without the changes to our domestic arrangements ruining the holidays for my children. And it's already proving to be difficult.
In previous years we've dressed the Christmas tree together with the children hanging the ornaments, choosing which goes where and understandably my children are pushing for this again. Only DH is a little reluctant to be part of something he feels he can't fully share since he no longer lives here.
The whole situation must be very difficult for him and I do sympathise with his reluctance but I have asked for his indulgence, for the sake of the children. So I have held off decorating the tree today to give him the chance to think it through and decide what he wants to do but tomorrow we will be decorating the tree with or without him.
I hope it is with...

I hope it's with, as well, Alyss, but unfortunately, it's ultimately up to him. I hope he can see how much it would mean to your girls. -

I hope he makes the right choice, and chooses to be there for his kids.

Thanks everyone. I probably ought to have had more faith in him as he was here bright and early and we had quite a nice day. The kind of day that I'd have liked to have had when we were still together but rarely had.
But what is important is that the tree is dressed and we did it all together. =)

Your DH has to stop being a selfish person and get overr his difficluties.
Its not about him. Its about the kids and what THEY want.
