Re: Why leave it till Christmas time.
Dare I suggest that he may have had other plans for Christmas!
If you know what I mean! He may have believed he had reason for leaving his wife, but how could he destroy his children's Christmas like this? It could spoil their Christmases for the next few years!

That's just disgusting Maureen.A couple of times Jim and I were fighting like cat and dog (I can almost guarantee it was worse than most marital disputes these days) but we STILL managed to sit down at either end of the table for Christmas and our fighting (verbal and physical) was done away from the children's eyes and ears.
There is only one word for a man like you described - SELFISH.
Well, there are more, but I don't want to swear!

I wonder if he would like it should one of his daughters grow up and the same happened to her?

Re: Why leave it till Christmas time.
Thank you all so very much for your kind and thoughtful wordsOf course I don't know the ins and outs of their relationship but I said to my niece. "Is he worth bothering about if he can hurt his children so much at a time like this."
I too think there is someone involved being as his wife had no idea what he had been planning.
My poor twin sister is of course also going through the pain seeing her little grandchildren so distraught as she lives next door to them.

All you and the family can do is be there for your niece and her children when they need you, especially over Christmas.One comforting thought is that the children will probably get revenge on their father in years to come! Will he be invited to their weddings, college graduations and other similar events? Will he ever spend time with his grandchildren? He will suffer because the odds are stacked against him having a successful relationship with another lady..... more second marriages fail that first ones so he may just end up being a lonely old man. I wonder if his children will then afford him the same kind of care that he is now showing to them.
