Scott, I feel for you man. I know that this is difficult. With time it will get better. This is also why I was against the joint Christmas, I felt it would set you back in your detachment. It also felt like she was throwing you some breadcrumbs and doing you a favor. Never a healthy place to be with a WAS. I think the message it would have sent her to have insisted on separate Christmases would have been profound. And would help your kids be less confused about reality moving forward. And it would have helped you start getting some respect back. You held onto the joint Christmas out of fear and anxiety.
Water under the bridge. Onwards and upwards in 2021!
