I have not had any contact with ww in several weeks so do not know her plans for Christmas day. Am taking sons to buy gifts for her tomorrow. I thought of getting her a picture frame and copying photos of the 3 sons and giving to her. She has moved into apartment and has no pictures of the family. Suppose it would be in poor taste to include a picture of me? Any other gift ideas from anyone of you? WW changed lawyers this week but still heading for court in Feb. I am trying plan A but only sending cards and a check each week. Middle son spent the night w/ her this week and I think she trashed me the entire time because he was depressed when he returned. I know we should never give up but I have to face it one day . Maybe the Christmas week will break ww down(no family ).

I love the idea of the pic of sons!!<p>But you're right, this time of year is very emotional for most people. You don't want to push her away further, which is why I think you should give the pic of your sons only for right now - sorry. [img]images/icons/frown.gif" border="0[/img] <p>I hope your dreams come true and that she loves the picture -- and who knows, maybe her heart will melt and she can begin to think about coming home.

ditto Sheryl, and don't include the pic of you.<p>Consider a separate personal gift from you. Simple and without a lot of symbolism. A bottle of her favorite wine, perhaps?<p>Don't know your story, so who filed? What's the status of the affair? How's your Plan A been?

Probably, you are her first public enemey at this time or close to it. Don't send your pic or your son pics, could be taken as LB. Send similiar gifts that she really like in the past.
