It gets easier with time. Even when they are at home. In some ways having my H at home was harder than it has been with him gone (at least for me, not for D's). Having said that though, I think there is alot of positive that can happen with them there.

It's hard to see them so miserable and not have the ability to do anything to change it. Which is where doing things for yourself is so invaluable.

Do you have any goals that you're working towards?
