FIB, the hardest part is not being with your kids full time. I am grateful that I have tawny full time now. My son however I only have every other week.
How do I cope? I get involved and create opportunity. I coach his soccer team, I volunteer at his school, I have my mom provide his after school care. The weeks I do not have him I still see him at least 3-4 times that week. It makes it bearable ( there isn't really a good word for it) and allows me to keep any connection that I can.
Is it easy, hell no my friend. Is it something that we learn to deal with, yes. You my friend will learn this lesson as well. You will resent her for it, that will never go away. You will however learn to make it as good as you can given the position that is dictated to you by a court of law...blech........
