New
Years Eve 2009! How exciting! What are our options? We can bring out
the champagne, party hats, streamers, noise makers and fancy clothes in
I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It's strange how special the holiday season is and yet it can also be so bittersweet and even painful for those families involved in any stage of divorce. The adult children are drawn into the problem in selecting with which parent they should celebrate each special day. Some parents make it easy by not forcing any issues and by being flexible. Other parents continue the divorce battle even after it is all supposedly over. They attempt to control by threats or carrots or even worse by placing guilt in the minds of their children.
Is this coming Thursday about Thanksgiving or about giving thanks or is it about just giving? I'm not sure that the terms are synonymous. Is the focus on being grateful for all of our blessings? Do we appreciate our families and the support systems that friends and family offer? Or, is it about eating too much and forgetting the people out there who are alone?
