Trying to save my M. W not really trying though.

Hi eTrain.
I'm new here and our story is similar. My W left July 17, we have a 5yr old son. It's been very hard. In addition, I miss my son very much when I'm not with him. W thinks he is having a hard time adjusting so she set up to have her and I meet with a child counselor to advice us on what to do to make the transition easier for our son. This really breaks my heart.

What are you doing to maintain a level of normalcy for you S?

I'll try to keep his daily "routine" the same....dinner times, bedtimes, etc.
Besides that, I suggested to W that we plan "visits" after she moves out...and she agreed. So on days W has him, I'll stop over her place to visit S for an hour or so...and W will do the same when I have him. That way he'll still see both of us almost every day.
I'm not sure how long we'll keep that up, but we plan on trying it in the very beginning...so his transition will be more gradual.

If there's anything else you could suggest, please share. This isn't going to be easy so I'll take all the help I can get.
