Asking Eric: Resolving Standoff Between Son and Ex Is up to Them
Readers share diverse, respectful ways to announce divorce in holiday cards, including humor and pets, aiming to maintain relationships and ease family tensions during transitions.
- On November 9, advice columnist R. Eric Thomas answered a reader asking how to acknowledge an impending divorce in Christmas cards, with his column distributed by Tribune Content Agency via Instagram and a weekly newsletter.
- Readers prioritized authenticity when announcing divorce, influenced by a radical change in family structure and the pandemic's impact on perspective.
- Readers suggested specific formats such as a reader's dog photo showing shared custody, a bulleted 'what has changed/what hasn't' suggestion, and a motorcycle photo with three companions to keep the tone light.
- The column advised being forthright, urging forgoing gifts and honest talks while noting parents aren’t responsible for reconciling estranged adult children.
- Many correspondents said they send Happy New Year cards because families who can't gather for Christmas find non-Christmas timing common, and one noted including a soon-to-be ex in a transition card felt right initially and remains so five years later.
