One thing that does not get easier no matter how long it’s been(it’s been 3 years since my ex left) well for me anyways, is when my daughter leaves me. Today it’s affecting me really bad, she always says she doesn’t wanna leave me etc.. I get to pick her up eveyday from school and have her a couple hours after and give her dinner. So I see her eveyday and have her every other weekend. But the one thing that I always wanted was a family and my ex knew this and she ripped that shit out from under me for her selfish self. I miss out on something’s now because of her and that shit eats at me.
