Hey Max, that first month can be depressing and sometimes calming. I am also glad to have my kids around. They ground me and keep me going. If it were not for them I probably would be either : A. eating out my fridge and renting movies or B. partying in Vegas and hooking up with some beefy dude. I am tempted to do both but my kids reemind me I have swim camp and Brownie meets to attend! I do resent that he left/ got displace from all of us though. I think it is so hard on the kids, but I do not think it is a consolation when people say, "At least they got a divorce/ separation before they had kids." It is painful no matter when or what.
