[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in the same spot (only the teen side). My mom explained things, and that year we got things we NEEDED for Christmas. A new cheap daybed ($100) jeans, socks, underwear ($50), pens & pencils, notebooks ($15) and lots of little toiletry samples in our stockings ($15). We cut down a Christmas tree in the woods. It was pretty scraggly, but we loved it. We had a small ham, biscuits, choc. chip cookies. We drove around to look at the Christmas lights on Christmas Eve, and on Christmas morning, we drove around giving tangerines to all the homeless people in DC. It put things in perspective pretty quickly. [/quote]

Good advice.  Don't try to hide things from your kid that you won't succeed at hiding.  All you will do is create future therapy bills and undermine your relationship (since you won't be a source of true information, in her mind).

She knows there's a divorce, and she knows this changes things.

I'm sorry life is so challenging right now.  [/quote]
