Can divorced parents spend time with kid together?

The OP is the one needing therapy about having separation anxiety from her child. She needs to stop projecting her insecurities onto her child. The child is going to be spending time with her father, not a complete stranger. Why does mom need to be along for this to occur?

See this shows how dumb you really are....OP, is a he unless they were married in another state. It is too early for same sex couples (wife-wife) to divorce in DC not enough time to marry and divorce since legalization. So....is HE projecting?

Kids get hurt in divorce ever heard of the whole stay together for the kids routine?

In response to the original question (sort of), I am 34 and my sister is 31. My parents divorced when I was 8. We (mom, dad, sister, myself) did Christmas together until my sister graduated from college. My parents did not always get along and my dad remarried along the way, but I will always treasure the fact that for 4 hours every year it was just the 4 of us acting like a family since, regardless of whether my parents were still married, it was my family. If you can make holidays, playdates, etc. work, do it for the kids. They will appreciate the memories.
