Holidays and other celebrations
Special times like birthdays and Christmas can be hard at first.
Fortunately, there are lots of ways to deal with special times. Maybe you can celebrate twice, once with each parent. Or maybe you can celebrate one holiday with one parent, and the next with the other parent. Or alternate yearly—for example, have your birthday with your mom one year and with your dad the next year.
If you feel sad about losing some of your family's traditions for celebrations, try creating new ones. Each year, try to do some new things that you can do again next year—and the year after that. Before long, you'll find yourself with a wealth of new traditions.
