My heart is breaking.
My son isn’t spending Christmas with me. He only came back to me (timeframe removed by Moderator) after the weekend & is leaving in (timeframe removed by Moderator). I’ll not see him until (timeframe removed by Moderator). I wasn’t even consulted about it. I was just told by my son that’s what was happening. I was hoping he’d stay with me tonight and then I’d drop him off tomorrow. I’m trying not to let him see I’m upset as I know it’s hard for him too. I just wanted him here with me and my daughter to open their presents together in the morning then take him to his Dads. I can’t ask my daughter to wait until (timeframe removed by Moderator) for her gifts.
Tomorrow i’m at (detail removed by Moderator) with (detail removed by Moderator) who will act as if nothing has happened. I’d be happier staying at home in my pjs.
