FLTC, your D16 might not talk to you even if you were under the same roof.....but you're right, at least you could SEE her! There are days my D18 just goes to her room and closes the door).

I know the holidays are hard for you....me, too. Just when I think I am doing fine something will hit me and I'll be sad (like seeing my exH's stocking that I made for him 30 years ago. One moment I want to burn it; another moment I want to stuff it with goodies and put it on his new doorstep). Guess the rollercoaster of emotions continues even after divorce!

So, we need to figure out how to deal with triggers (like family photos for you!). Any ideas?

Hope you have a less sad day today.
