My H left on 24th Nov 2005. That first Christmas we did spend together for the sake of the children but it was an awful day. The second Christmas he was gone he made sure he created an atmosphere when he came to see the children. Last year he chose to go on holiday to Thailand with OW. It was supposed to be for four months but ended up just being 3 weeks. I think they were probably hoping to get married while they were there but even now the D train still rumbles on. I took the kids on holiday too b/c they were so disgusted that their dad could go away and leave them at such a crucial time of the year. Christmas day on the beach should have been great. It wasn't. My kids played up. They had a nice time but I didn't. This year my S16 will be missing from the fold as well as H as he now lives with H and currently isn't speaking to me. I think I'll just curl up in a ball for two weeks and wake up when it is all over and done with.
