2. Well, actually because of the tension in the house, I'm skipping the Christmas festivities

It's all about our kiddo, and while he has severe autism, he picks up on vibes and I don't want it ruined for him. On the plus side, he got to come stay with me on the houseboat tonight (first time I've seen him since the split) and he's currently snoozing away on the air mattress just a few feet from me. He's a heavy sleeper so I know my typing won't wake him.

This is my Christmas, the Winter Solstice. And my heart is full because my child is here with me.
