I know your pain, if you want to share just buzz me if you want to talk. Its about putting them first which is so hard and pretending to be happy when it hurts like a mofo! :( Anyways as the support ground emails say, its just a day and focus on their lives not the day....

I'm so sorry to hear that. Sadly, you are definitely not the only one. Whilst I was lucky enough to spend Christmas with most of my family, there were people whose absence was felt. My son hasn't seen his daughter in months, and it was heartbreaking to not get to see her on Christmas. The worst thing about breakups is when children are affected. They deserve the security of knowing who their people are, and being able to maintain relationships with family, especially on the special occasions. I hope you get to see your son soon. - Posted from rhpmobile

For me I'll in total have 3 different 'Christmas' experiences and not one of them on Christmas Day. Rather than battling with family, travel and what not I decided it was better to pick other days to celebrate what Christmas is about - for me that would be too much of a challenge to do on the day itself. How about starting a new tradition? Hell Christmas in July could be much more enjoyable - think of the food prices! It's a tough time for many, and you're certainly not alone.

I know enough seperated parents to empathise with how you feel. Other people have also had a sad Xmas for other reasons i.e. bushfires. And I can't say there were no tears at this time for myself or other family members for different reasons, but at least I did have the regular family gathering/s that helped.

I'm a son, I didn't get to spend any time with my family this year. Being 33 I didn't think it would matter that much. However I was wrong. It sucked big time especially seeing everyone else with their families over Facebook and other social media.... Definitely making time next year. Hope you get to see your son soon mate

Plenty of sad people at this time of the year. Watching the world get together, love each other, exchange gifts and eat traditional food is a recipe for envy for anyone who's life doesn't work that way. The season and others joy exacerbates feelings of loneliness and isolation. Memories of years past refreshes grief for those who are missing loved ones. The immense display of wealth seen in gift giving isolates those in poverty. I even feel guilty for being sad because I've had so many great Christmases in the past, how spoiled am I that I'm crying over one quiet year compared to families who have had quiet Christmases every year? There is no cure for the holiday season blues, but Dr Touch recommends alcohol and sleep for a speedy delivery into 2016.

I spent Christmas Day and Boxing Day on my own, apart from a few hours spent at a friend's house. I agreed that my daughter could spend Christmas morning with her father and his family so she could be there for her half sister's first Christmas. We have our meal together on Christmas Eve so we are not interrupted by her father arriving in the middle of our meal which has happened before. I allow her to open one gift on Christmas Eve and we enjoy our time together. Christmas Day is what you make of it, not a date. I'm sorry you were alone and it's even harder without any family (mine are all East) and no special someone to kiss under the mistletoe. Am I sad and lonely, yes I am, but I bought myself a treat (seafood) and wine and enjoyed a day of sleeping and reading to pass the time. X - Posted from rhpmobile

Hey. I feel for you. My daughter is with me half the day and the other half with her dad. So my situation this year isn't as heart tugging as yours and I can't imagine the depression I would feel if it was. When will you see them again? I'm so glad u reached out. It's good to have support and to know that people r in the same boat. They may have needed someone to talk to as well and even reading ur msg they may have felt a little more at ease knowing they rnt alone either. Xxx - Posted from rhpmobile

is difficult for a lot of people, you're certainly not alone. It's been a difficult time for me the last few years, not because of family stuff but other things going on in my life. To anyone struggling....hang in there.

know my Christmas didn't quite go to plan.... But.... When life gives you lemons, lemonade is a great outcome.... Not Apple pie...... So... Sometimes we just gotta celebrate Christmas the best way we can, which is not always how we desire it. - Posted from rhpmobile

Not knowing your circumstances but I can imagine it's tough. It's times like Christmas that make me grateful I have an ex that like me, puts the kids first.

I have spent a few Christmas alone and not seeing my kids, sucks big time, always feels worse at Christmas. I have tried to make a special Christmas Day with them either before or after. Helps knowing, having a great day to look forward too.
