Hiya.

I am seeing Xmas stuff everywhere in shops , houses etc.

With my hubby on RUI and nearly 6 months in I just cannot get into the Xmas swing of things.

I know with timeframes it's gonna be after Xmas but cannot get into it.

I feel the same Hun although hasn't been as long for me. Husbands bail extension runs out 2nd December. Just thinking of Christmas makes me sad as it won't be the same for my kids if dads not there to wake them up in the morning. X

I feel exactly the same, this will be the first Xmas without my hubbie and I really don't want to think about it. I could quite easily just stay in bed all day and not open the door to anyone, but I have my 2 grown up daughters to think about. Next year will be different though because he's due to be released the week before Xmas.

I am dreading Christmas too ladies. I am trying to get into the Christmas and have bought lots of our children's presents. Hubby is at home only for the sake of the children. My heart is broken and our relationship is over. He is released under investigation, 10months in.
I am petrified that in the weeks leading up to Christmas the police will be finished with his phone and charges brought and social services brought in to ruin Christmas.
I have no idea how I will explain to family and the children where he is.
I just want to get Christmas with my children ????but I feel like the justice system won't care that it's Christmas

I feel the same. Only 1 week since the knock, still unknown if/what charges. Usually love Xmas, Primary aged son trying to be positive for him and will have brave face on, but he will be devastated if no Dad there Xmas eve/morning not allowed to stop over

We are making this Christmas count. It's my daughters first Christmas and at only 3 months old is really doesn't care abaout anything other than the pretty lights. But we are here. We are healthy. My husband is so much happier than ever and fighting his issues.
And frankly - we don't know if he will be at home with us next year or in prison. So we will make it count this year.
We are doing it all. Santa visits. Matching pjs. Big Christmas tree and all the decorations.
