Sarah Woodward, a divorce counselor, believes that the strains of Christmas, when families gather and spend more time together, may damage relationships.
She continues:”Often, couples have pre-existing troubles in their relationship and expect that spending time together would bring them closer together, but it doesn’t.”
“The last straw is financial hardship and the yearning for a perfect Christmas.”
“Others may have waited for one final Christmas with the kids before deciding to divorce.”
