The coming season can be brutal for families going through a difficult time. If you or your family have been going through a difficult time, my suggestion is that you don’t take the holidays sitting down. Prepare for them. Many parents have told me how important it is to them that their children wake up at their home with them on Christmas morning. How can they give this up? Some parents try to celebrate the holidays together, to try to keep some of their traditions alive. If you and your ex can spend the holiday together without tension or conflict, you might decide to share the special moments. However, if your children pick up on your discomfort, it will spoil the festivities for them. Despite your best intentions, your stress could add strain and tension to your kids’ experience. Sharing the holiday only works for parents who are quite comfortable with each other, and not in conflict. Most parents alternate the holidays, and if this is the case, create new traditions for yourself and your kids. Encourage your children to make cards or gifts for their other parent. It sends them the important message of giving while taking them out of the loyalty confusion when you encourage their relationship with each of their parents.#familylawattorney #gainesville #christmas #divorce #candacewilliamslaw #northeastga #custody #superlawyers...
