lwb, I agree with gypsy...its going to be a hard transition when your stbx does start taking them at whatever point that is. but remember, I promise, there are silver linings, too, just like with separation. its hard, and its horrible, and its not what we want, but at the same time, it can be a good thing, too.
you know me, I cried every friday when h took the kids for the first month or 2. sobbed, it was horrible. but after a while, I started embracing the silver linings...and started embracing me again. and while I hated being without my kids for a minute, I also learned to love some of the time on my own. that is something you do not get much of right now, and honey, I promise it can be good at times.
