[QUOTE="witzend, post: 572071, member: 99"] Payla, I'm sorry to hear that the Christmas was difficult for you. I honestly don't know [I]how[/I] any one of us could possibly detach successfully from our kids [I]and[/I] interact with them. You're a good mom to try to accomodate contact between him and his child. Did she enjoy it, or was it difficult for her? I know it was difficult for you. If she was uncomfortable and you were uncomfortable, maybe someone else needs to be his touchstone with her. If he can't find anyone, maybe that is his burden, and maybe he will meet it. In the meantime, you did what you could to make things right for everyone, and that is nothing to regret. Like our dear Fran always said, "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you always got." There has to come a time in his life that he becomes responsible for seeing his child at Christmas. If that's what he wants, he should start working on that now. If he doesn't, how much does he [I]really [/I]want it? [/QUOTE]
