One missed Christmas is plenty bad enough. I know a family where two kids missed their dad over Christmas, a few years back, because he was stupid enough to video himself tearing down a dual carriageway on his motorbike at speeds well over 100mph. He deserved a good slap for it and he got one (4-6 weeks IIRC). But they didn't deserve it.
They suffered it, because it's inevitable part of him being locked up, but they didn't deserve it. And thankfully they were surrounded by friends and family who did not think the way you seem to. They had sympathy for the children's predicament and went into overdrive to try to ensure they had as fun a Christmas as they could without their dad being around.

I am not wriggling out of it as one missed Christmas would bring home the enormity of what had happened on that night.
I also know that he is going to get his home break regardless of what is said here or even by her mother as that is the way things go in this system.
As I said in my post prior to this all we are doing is going around in circles which will lead us nowhere.
I feel anger over this case as it should never have happened in the first place, maybe if that car had been 2 up this may not have happenedb but we will never know.
