An Admission

[poliphilo]

Of course my distaste for Christmas goes back to the break-up of my first marriage. After that my kids never ever got to spend Christmas Day with me. I pretended not to mind- but I did.

I've always dealt with emotional pain by stuffing it up my jumper.

The kids are grown up now. One's in Leicester, one's in Japan and one lives with me and Ailz. There are no grandchildren- yet. Perhaps it's time I moved on....

Thanks.

I don't fully understand it either, but it feels like I have this stuff from the past to deal with before I can move on.

Divorce hurts everybody involved. There's got to be a better way of handling things- but I don't know what it is....
