My stepsons are coming for Christmas. My middle stepson has a ten year old daughter. She has had two bereavements this year and her world has been turned upside down. She is a lovely little girl and my initial thought was to try to make Christmas as special as possible, but I am not sure if this is for the best or not? Normally I would just let the children make their own entertainment and have fun together, but none of her cousins will be here. Her father has sole custody and whilst she will see her half sisters and Mother briefly on Christmas Eve she will otherwise just be with us. I know her least well of all of our grandchildren and the fact that she will be the only child in the house and after the truly dreadful year she has had I don’t know what to do for the best. Not much point talking to her Father about it, he is at a loss I think. He is doing his best and looking after her basic needs as best he can but he is on autopilot. She is having counselling which I hope is helping. Any ideas?
