I've been divorced for a few months now. Like some of you here, I've gone from a full-time dad to a part-time dad. I've had some difficulty dealing with their absence (son and daughter 6/7), particularly after a long visit. The silence is what's hard and seeing evidence of them having been here everywhere. It's left me on the brink of tears at times.

I see my children most weekends and alternating holidays.

Their mom is good about setting an equitable schedule and one that prioritizes my time with them, especially since we live so far apart.

I suppose my question is, does this get easier- feeling their absence so deeply?

​

I hope I've made some sense.
