How do I deal with sending my kids to the co-parent over the Holidays?

It's tough to watch your kids walk out the door during the Holidays when you want to spend time with them. Remember, this is about your kids. They want to see their other parent. They want to spend time with their father or mother over the Holidays just as much as they want to spend time with you.

Take a deep breath. Talk to yourself. Put your kids first. Let them have joy over the Holidays and be free to love and see the other parent. Your ex-partner may be involved with someone new this year and your child might even enjoy being around them. Be happy that your kids like the new person in their life. Be happy that your kids are treated well by the new person in their life.

Take it Holiday by Holiday and know that you will make your kid's life a better place by allowing them to love and be loved.
