You sound like a terrific Dad 
and in the end its not the presents the kids will see its the love and comfort they get from you. They will always know that there is a safe place with you. As a kid I remember the time my Dad spent with us not the gifts.

TN, I know I have come a long way. But to be honest? I am still so conditioned to please her, to not stand up for myself, that it took actual effort even to text what I did in fear of her reaction. The effect of an abusive relationship. I did not even know I was in one.....
