Dear Bunmi,
Just over a year ago, my husband of nine years left me and the children for another woman. He lives with her now because she’s rich.
At first he said it was a temporary thing to mitigate his joblessness. Early this year, he said he wanted a divorce so he could get married to this woman and I didn’t object. Any man who could do what he did to us is not worth fighting for. Now another Christmas draws to a close and all the bitterness is back, I now live with my parents with our three children and I would want all of us to have a good festive period. My ex has another idea though – he wants the children to spend the holidays with him and his flossie.
I told him it was okay, but there’s no way I’m going to expose my innocent children to that kind of depravity!
Dear Evelyn, You really haven’t let on Q!Ilt how active your ex is in the lives of his children. What he did to you was a deplorable thing but that doesn’t really amount to being depraved! As much as you can, strive to make this Christmas one to remember by spending quality time with your children. Whilst you do that, resist the temptation to portray your ex an irresponsible father. You were terribly hurt and still suffer from your ex’s betrayal, but he’s still your kids’ dad. In the meantime, let your ex realize you don’t want to confuse the children by letting them be with him and his lover for days on end. Instead, agree on the occasional visits and see how things go. Let your kids realise you love them – so does their dad. Then look forward to a relaxing and stress-free holiday.
