I think it is very possible for a "divorced family" to be happy but I do not feel Kevin is there yet.

I mean, his W had to sneak in to put up the Christmas stuff, sneak home to sleep then sneak back so when the children woke up it seemed normal. Maybe I am way off base but that seems like a very bad idea.

I can see divorced parents getting together on holidays (or any day for that matter) but IMO this is taking it to a different level. What good is one day of "normal" (normal = waking up with mommy and daddy both there) when all the other days they could not be further apart?

I don't know, it just seems very damaging. Having a meal together or doing an activity together is one thing but creating illusions is another especially when the children have made it very obvious they will continue to ploy, plot and manipulate to have family time.
