Still Smiling

[BklynMom]

Kids and I had an awful hand off to exH tonight. They know they are going to be with him Christmas Eve and until mid-day christmas morning and they didn't want to go. They want to be at home.

It was really heartbreaking. I was in a really good place going into it but my girls just understand why they have to go with Daddy.

D4 screamed and hollowed it was over the top but the sadder thing was D6 hiding under her covers on her top bunk not even sobbing loudly just with tears rolling down her checks sating she didn't want to go.

I facillitated getting the kids off with him. I told D6 to just go tonight and we could talk about it tomorrow.

I dont understand how divorce with kids is at all accepted in our society except in cases of abuse. It is so cruel to these amazing wonderful kids.

My exH is a selfish fool. and a big jerk!
