It was tough being away from the kids for an entire week, although I've done it many times before when I'm away on gigs. This is different somehow, and I wonder exactly why?
I think it's different because you are usually away from home and this time you were at home - where you normally expect them to be. You wouldn't expect them to be with you when you're out of town. One of the many things you'll be adjusting to, I'm afraid. It doesn't seem right not being able to talk to your kids because of the cell phone reception. I wonder if that's something that could be addressed through the lawyers?
Hang in there and be thankful that you have plenty to keep you busy - it just might make it easier. Your mind can't wander into those bad places when you're busy.
