The holidays are really tough. Sounds like your kids are also pretty independent now which must be a new feeling compared to when they were younger and always with you and your wife. You have a right to feel miserable during times such as these because you never wanted this. Going from a family of four to just being on your own with part-time kids is a difficult adjustment. At least the holidays are soon over and there's the hope of the new year being better than the last.
