Holiday Stress and Divorced Parenting
'Tis the season to be thankful, in another month to be jolly, and, if you're still not convinced, a whole new year right around the corner to try again if things don't work out for you through this year's holiday season! Holiday times for children of newly divorced parents are often the toughest time of year. They often have strong emotional attachments to days gone by when Mom, Dad, their brothers and sisters and they all cheerfully ate too much turkey and sang off-key holiday carols together. Remember that your joy in being away from what became an unbearable situation for you leading to a divorce may not have registered with your children, who are still in denial and are hurt, angry, and depressed.

Friends are Funny Creatures
Anyone who has crossed over would agree to that. It’s like when we cross over even the most insignificant things start niggling us. A small comment or a lame joke usually end up in the unchartered territory. And we usually don’t want to mention that we were offended by something that didn’t feel right to us. You see all the perceptions about grown-ups ‘discussing’ their problems are a farce. We don’t ‘discuss’ anything heavier than the weather.

A Cure for Good-mate-itis
What is good-mate-itis? Good-mate-itis is a disease that we get when we are well-

each other for granted. We “know” our mate will always be there, so we fall into a deep
sleep. We are on automatic. BEWARE! This is the time when love falls apart. It falls apart
