To my single parent friends on Christmas: As my son just left my house to go to his dads and my heart is feeling pretty raw, I thought Id write a message to all those parents out there that are missing their kids today. Theres a secret sadness that comes with the holidays when youve gone through a divorce and have children. You paste a smile on your face and go through the motions that youre expected to, but theres a deep, dark sadness that you hide. You hide it for your kids, you hide it to avoid the pity, you hide it to try to convince yourself youre okay. But its there, even if youre the only one that knows it. There really arent words to comfort a parent that has to sit on Christmas day missing their children. Its unnatural. The happiest day of the year to them is honestly one of the most emotional for you. Ive been doing this for 3 years now and it has felt like I was the only one who was hiding this pain each year. So if youre reading this, I want you to know youre not alone. It hurts. Its sad. But I can tell you from experience, it gets easier. New traditions are made, routines are created, and your normal will change. But for now, Im sending you my love because I know its not easy. Its okay to cry when youre alone and wish things were different, but remember, time will heal all. ::Big Hugs::
