Hello friends,
I thought I’d share with you these important words of co-parenting during the holidays, and I hope that it lifts you during what can be such a difficult time…
The magical holidays don’t feel very magical when they are filled with arguing and tears. Imagine how much more confusing it is for the children, who pick up on the tension and often are used as pawns in a very grown-up game of push and pull.
I get it. I have been there. For more than 2 decades I have been involved with co-parenting three children with three absent parents. All the stakes are raised to a very tense threshold at Christmas time.
The kids pay the price. A time that should be filled with love, compassion, giving, and nostalgia is often plagued by warring and manipulation.
As difficult as it is, I am here to tell you that it can be done, it must be done, and doing it takes a very firm commitment to putting the children first.
I also have this to share with you!!
