I think the pain will always be there, but in time it will decrease in strength.
I think my pain is mainly to do with DD. She has always been closer with me than XW, and has told me that she would prefer to live with me "more", than with XW. But in all honesty, with XW's plans, and with my work, I can't see that happening. Thats the thing that really hurts the most.
But as my family keep telling me, the time DD and I spend together is more "productive" and contains so much more quality than when she is with XW. XW needs to surround herself with other people when she is with DD, whilst I enjoy just spending one on one time, doing things we both enjoy.
