My oldest is in the middle of a divorce and we do all we can to make the kids feel loved and never say anything bad about the other party. Its hard to imagine that an adult wouldn't realize how bad words about a loved ones can hurt - especially a child.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369681864114551968.post-15473918308114115112013-01-15T08:55:46.182-06:002013-01-15T08:55:46.182-06:00Thanks for sharing this childhood Christmas memory...Thanks for sharing this childhood Christmas memory with us.

I felt your emotions and I think it's pretty amazing that your mom did what she did. So many divorced parents these days need to follow suit and get over themselves.<br /><br />I lost my dad when I was 13, so the keepsakes I have from him are very, very special to me.

I'm not sure i always did that, but I can see my heart in your mom and her goals. As a teacher for thirty seven years, I have seen the sad result when parents do the opposite. Your spirit is so ebullient. Both your mom and dad did most things just right, I'd say! Great.

My grandson told me one time that 50% of the kids on campus had divorced parents. His parents were divorced when he was seven. Both parents and grandparents went to his school and sports activities and sat together. He was raised by both parents and me. I started keeping him daycare when he was 6 weeks old and sometimes after school and during the summer while he was growing up. He is very special and well adjusted 19 year old collage student. Not all kids are so lucky. <br />Blessings,<br />Audrey Z.
