Its difficult when your a single mom for the holidays I've realized. But now with me being a teen single mom on top of that it is even more difficult.
A single mom at my church and she is having the same problem that I am having but hers is with a different twist. Her ex-husband's father is dying (he just passed actually, but at the time he was in hospice) And she was traveling down to TN to see her family to be with them on Christmas with her son, but she knew that on the other side of the state, they would want to see her son as well. And if he passed (which he did) they would want their grandson at the funeral. But that would mean not spending the holidays with her son, but obviously for an important reason. However, her family would also not be able to see her and her son because would have to stay up here and be at the funeral. Sharing the son, that's difficult.
Now I am finding that I have the same problem. I have Kent this christmas, His first Christmas (SO LUCKY!!! and BLESSED!!) But the day after christmas I can't be with my baby boy to play with all his toys because he will be at his daddy's all day for the first time. I'm going to miss him so much, all these empty toys and no baby to play with them for a whole day.
The holidays you want to spend with your family, and Kent is my family. I know he is also his dad's but this is just so hard!!!! I wish we were married and this problem never arose. I mean His dad did come over to see him today along with his grandparents on his dads side, but I know they want to see him more. And they should be able to. But I am so attached to him...watching him go is going to be so hard...especially at Christmas.
