Remember also that your children are going to feel left behind by their Dad. And you will be the one there for them. I am not making myself clear, I know, but what I mean is...
OK, an example. My D was always calling for Daddy and saying she missed him and even said a couple of 'I love Daddy, not you's. But when she is sick, or needs something or something is important to her and needs to share: she turns to me.
It is a normal reaction to seek the father that left them (guess what: we seek the H that left us until we read DR and get smart). But it is you they really need and your PMA they will reflect.
Of course that only adds yet another stone or two to your load
As I told Zoo earlier today: life is NOT fair.
Lots of hugs
