Sometimes life just sucks, but suck it in and get on with it the best you can. Kids can be fickle. Give your daughter time. She will come around. It has been almost 20 years since I experienced winter. Do I miss it? Not on your life! Can you work something out with your ex to have your daughter in the warm sunshine for Christmas?

Sucking it in :)
I was hoping she'd want to visit, and think that it's up to her these days - if she asked her mum, I suspect she'd be ok with it.
Like I said, kids are fickle especially teenagers. They eventually come around. My nephew was the same. Really pissed at his dad. He finally came around after he was grown and had a son of his own...Hurts like heck while they are doing it though, so you just have to make a better life for you and try to be happy...
Yes. This is what I've tried to do over the past couple of years, and most of the time I feel this has gone pretty well. There's just the reminder on days like Sunday. I feel a bit better today, thank you :)
Special days are always hardest. On those days try to do something new. Have new experiences, new food, new places and new people. I found having a pet helped but you may not have the place for one and if yoy are traveling this poses other problems.
Yes they can be both the best or the worst.
New places and food I managed, a cat would be ideal. These Spanish ones aren't so friendly - yet 😊
Start feeding them. They'll come around. Feed at the same time every day when a lot of others aren't around...
I didn't that with the same bunch 2 years ago actually, and it worked then. Maybe I need to find the time of day 😊
