That's great... I will be happy for you later, right now I'm too angry.

I don't know how old your kids are, but you have to realize that kids see what is going on, and to an extent are pretty understanding.

I remember one year at Christmas time my dad dipped out and left my mom, about 3 weeks before Christmas. My mom had a job making minimum wage and my dad wasn't helping her out with anything financially. I was at most maybe 8 years old, and I realized that mom didn't have any money to get us anything for Christmas. My sister and I got one present from my mom that year, it was a mini-bike (motorized scooter that went no faster than like 5mph). She had got it from my grandfather, who took it to a good friend of his and for 100$ his friend restored it to full working condition.

It was the best Christmas present I can remember getting, not because it was so expensive or anything like that. But, because I knew what my mom had sacrificed to give us that.
