Dealing with Divorce During the Holidays
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011Divorce and Holidays
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010I am recently divorced with two teenage children. How do split families make the holiday season special for their kids?
Holidays can be an especially difficult time for teens with divorced parents. There are often painful reminders of the past, or new and unfamiliar routines as kids spend time with a new step family. Parents may also try to provide an extra dose of holiday cheer and family togetherness to overcome their own personal guilt. Don’t try to relive the past or over-compensate for the present, instead create a stress-free holiday celebration.
