(((HUGS))) lwb, yes, it is hard. its very hard. especially since you work so your time is limited anyway. that is going to suck when I am back working and the kids time is alreayd limited.
but there are good sides, too. remember its good for your kids to spend time with their dad. remember there are so many men out there (none here, but its not uncommon) to write their kids off, as well as their wives, when they leave. your h's desire to be an active father is a good thing...for your kids' sake, it is. and after some time passes and it becomes more routine for them to be gone, its a bit easier to relax/gal during that time. it feels so weird at first, and I bawled my eyes out every single friday when they left for a very long time, but now I'm a bit better. I am taking some time for me. and as much as I'd rather have my family back and intact, I'm still appreciating that that, too, can be a good thing.
