Special Days in Separated Families
To all the separated families out there, Special Days such as Mothers Day and Fathers Day can be a bittersweet occasion. While it's a time to honour and celebrate the day, it can also bring up feelings of sadness, loss, and longing for what once was.
Special Days are incredibly important for children. These occasions provide children with a sense of belonging, connection, and excitement. Special Days can be a source of happy memories that they will carry with them throughout their lives.
No matter how separated parents feel towards each other, children have a fundamental need to participate in special days. It's important to remember that these occasions are for the children and should not be used as a platform for parental conflict or disagreements.
Communication is critical when planning celebrations with separated families. Planning ahead can help reduce stress and ensure that everyone is able to participate in the celebration. It's essential for parents to put their differences aside and focus on creating a positive and inclusive environment for their children during special days. This means that both parents should be willing to compromise and work together to ensure that the child can participate in the celebration and enjoy the special day.
Despite the challenges that come with separation, there are still plenty of ways to make Special's Days, special and meaningful for everyone. No matter how you choose to celebrate a Special Day, remember that what matters most is the love the children have for Mom and Dad. Separation can be tough, but it doesn't have to diminish the bond between a parent and their children.
“Today, our relationship might be different but our goals for our children are still the same.”
