b”How can I help my children get through their first Christmas after my Annapolis, MD divorce?
Going through a divorce is often difficult for all involved, particularly children. Additionally, going through their first Christmas after your Annapolis, MD divorce may be very hard. However, you may be able to help them get through this time with the help of a few tactics.
Maintain a United Front
Putting your differences aside and attempting to spend Christmas with your ex may make the holiday easier for your children. After all, you likely feel that they are what is most important and helping them have a pleasant holiday will be worth any of the awkwardness or discomfort you may feel for your spouse after your Maryland divorce. If you can’t spend time together, at least support each other’s arrangements, and never talk negatively about your ex in front of the children.
Create New Traditions
Repeating the same traditions you do every year may make your children realize just how different this Christmas is. Instead, create new traditions and have fun doing them. These new memories will likely help you and your kids look back on this first holiday after your Annapolis divorce fondly.
Stay Positive
This first Christmas may be hard for you to get through, as well, but staying positive is important for both you and the kids. Acting depressed or angry about the new situation in front of your children may make them feel the same way, which will ruin the holiday for everyone. Instead, stay positive and it will hopefully rub off on the children, as well, which can make this Christmas more enjoyable.
