This is our first set of holidays after our divorce. What can we expect our kids to be concerned about?

Children of divorce regularly reverse roles. I can remember two kids, Hannah and Jordan, who were worried that while they were with one parent, the other would be alone. You can reassure them that the holidays are for them to enjoy and you will be able to take care of yourselves as adults and will see them frequently during the holidays, even if not every minute. They may also worry about what the divorce will do to the holiday gift budget. If you are fair and equal with your gift-giving, I don’t think your kids will remember in January what they got for Christmas. But if you overspend, you will certainly remember because you’ll still be paying off the bills. The kids will remember how they felt on the holidays more than what they got.
