I miss him : (

[ensorcelled]

Just need to vent..

The physical separation happened a few weeks ago and I just really miss my Lil Dude on my non-parenting days. Nothing I can really do but look at pictures and try and move on, I get it, but it makes me really sad not to see him after work or wake up to his smiling face.

I know it will pass and I will fill my time but for now, it just really sucks

[whyme?]

it is a gut wrenching thing for any parent to have to adjust to. But you will - focus on the time you do spend with him.

Thanks. I pick him up tonight after school. Can't effing wait.

I think we all go through this. It hit me pretty hard.

Finally I accepted my new reality and decided to make my non-parenting time as positive as possible. Running, studying, work (if necessary). Personally, this made me a healthier and happier person and, I'd like to believe, a better father for when I do have my son.

It still stings on occasion, but take advantage of your "off days" to the best of your ability.
