I'm doing pretty good. I was in good spirits yesterday since I picked up D-17 and S-14 at about 4:30pm and they stayed until a little past midnight.
Today has been a little tougher. I have had a few text messages back and forth with the both of them and it sounds like my D wants to spend some time with me after we do some driving instruction. I'm not so sure about S-14. I am watching S-12 play a video game while I am working on my laptop. I can tell I am still depressed because my desktop video card appears to be acting flaky and I cannot make myself swap the card from a known good machine to test it out. It is frustrating. I hate being like this.
I'm still trying to determine the best time to talk to the kids. I don't want to overwhelm them or make them feel guilty. I wish they could just be allowed to be kids for the few years they have left before college.
Grace, I really appreciate your posts above. I don't like seeing someone else go through anything like I am going through. I think what makes it more challenging when the kids are with the other parent is that we aren't together as a family. I have no issues when the kids are doing other activities.
Thank you,
mmf
