Ahhhhh, I can relate all too well. The being nice and doing extra little things before the bomb, the seeing a C only to work on ways to better handle D11 (oh yeah, and I know da*n well XH didn't think of this one on his own either), trying to get details on special occasions for D11, etc.

A bit bumbed that now every other weekend I won't get to see kids and that my son won't get to go to my brothers house as he always wishes, that we will have to plan around the schedule for anything in the future (family parties, a trip, etc etc)
I know exactly how you feel. They think kids are resilient, but I don't think they ever realize how much the kids really miss out on. It's not just the fact that daddy isn't home, it's so much more than that. They miss out on all of the immediate and extended family time/activities, they miss out on the comfort of seeing mom AND dad (together) in the audience for school plays. It breaks my heart.
