Split with my wife some time ago last Christmas I spent in the house to do santy for the kids this year cos she has a new man I'm not even let go up early in the morning to see the kids faces for santy after me buying all santy presents I'm not let see see them feel horrible

Thats awful

If thats the way its going to be tho - keep a diary, chat to them in it and hand it over when they are old enough to realise you weren't all bad

Wishing you as good a day as it can be in the circumstances X

Don't be down, she's moved on. When they get to you make it the best one yet, the one thing she or anyone can't buy your children is your time and your love which, when they look back as they get older will remind them that you love them.

Her moving on wouldn't be the issue,being stopped from seeing ones children is what's wrong here,she indeed cannot buy his time with the children but she is taking it from the OP,to the OP all I can say is I hope that common sense decency wins out and you get to spend some quality time with your kids,next time you buy the presents keep them at your house and say Santa dropped the gifts at your house so the kids would have to visit.Invite her and her new guy to come too and hand them a cuppa as soon as they come in the door.

Nicely put, you have to give Time, TIME and sometimes even a little more time as well, and I know it's hard but it does work out in the end

I split with my kids over 10 years ago so I know how it is op. Like only a father who has been thru it can know.

No offence meant but Iv found most women just don't get it or understand as they have nothing that is similar could happen to them barring it be a catastrophe of some sort,they never get seperated from their kids. Or very rarely

Op your kids wanted you there and you wanted to be there and only your ex stopped you so your kids will see all this and see who is doing what so just stick to the right road and you will have many more xmases with your kids when they can decide

OP your kids love you and even though u might not think so today Christmas is just a day and once they know it wasn't your choice to miss seeing them they'll be just as happy to have time with you opening the gifts you got them. 7 yrs on in this scenario and myself and the ex split the day he takes them after dinner for the rest of the day. He doesn't contribute to Santy he gives them his own gifts at his etc. I know the situation isn't an easy one but good communication and patience helps.

Happy Christmas xxx

Been there myself, no worse feeling (ever!) All I can suggest is to surround yourself with your own family/friends to try take your mind of it.

Some women feel there isn't an issue doing this to fathers or may get satisfaction from doing it I really don't know, makes me sick.

I'm so sorry that you're in such an awful situation. It's most unfair of your ex to not allow you to share in the Christmas magic, especially if the children are still young enough to believe in Santa.

Maybe next year, you could both have a sensible grown up discussion and agree that the kids come first, and if they want you there, you should be there, even for part of the day. If she's not amenable to that, then have a second Christmas for them at your house, and keep the presents you bought for them there until they arrive.

It's not easy, she may have her reasons to not want you there, but she's got no right to keep you from your kids.

I am truly saddened by your plight OP. I hope in time it all works out for you. Merry Christmas in the most humblest way I can say.

As usual you're either reading information that isn't there or you maybe know more personally about the OP. The fact of the matter is when a couple split 1 child/set of children can't be in 2 places at once so every Christmas 1 of the parents feels left out. I'd have thought this was obvious Flash.

The other side of all this is an ex wife wanting the kids dad to spend time with them but he can't be arsed and would rather spend it with others peoples kids instead of his own! The only ones that get hurt in all of this are the kids and it's not fair

There are plenty of men AND women who need to take a long hard look at themselves and cop on before it's too late and the kids don't wanna know them anymore!

The kids will always figure out who's always been there for them and eventually reject the one that wasn't!

You need to get access sorted out through the court system that way you get to see your kids plus you have to take it in turns every year once thats in place to have the kids for Christmas so if you didn't see them this year get your access sorted properly and next year they will get to spend it with you just because a relationship ends never take it out on your kids both parents need equal rights with the kids not one sided and yes I speak from experience

Painful time for you OP

Set up an email account for kids , email the account share how you feel about them..keep emailing the account each time your denied access or days you just want to talk with them.

Then on their 18th birthday give them the email log in with the password. Let them read thru all the emails you sent

Take it from me the courts can only do so much ... the kids are under the influence of the woman and mother in there lives ..

7 years down the line, my children now adults are startinv to making a effort to be in contact ... it will eat you up if you let it.. and any future partner cannot understand the pain it causes a man..
