FIB - I know you are so sad at the thought of not having your kids all the time. But it just is, an unchangeable fact of divorce.
I want you to start thinking about what GOOD things you can bring into your life in those days that you're not on dad duty.
My kids were older, but the divorce has still opened up big swaths of time in my life, especially since we sold the house and the boys ended up living with ex (I haven't swung a new house for myself yet). Surprisingly, that time is completely filled with rock band practice and drum lessons, socializing with new friends my ex never would have liked....in fact, I'm busier than ever, but in a good way. (Oh, and not to mention, visits to the ninja master...)
Pick up an instrument. I highly recommend the drums
