So, I "want" to feel ok for the days she has my boys, but I feel guilty! If I get excited that I get to do something because I don't have the responsibility of taking care of my boys, I get this guilty feeling.

Like if I want to go to a bar or a salsa club or out on my boat or on a drive in one of my cars....its like I shouldn't be happy that I'm doing something without my children. But I don't think that's right either.

This new "freedom", I feel, should be empowering, and I'm trying to get there, I can feel it, just under the surface.

How have you guys pulled through that?
