Hopeful, don't feel sorry for me, I get my kids every second week. My lawyer said I hit the jackpot because most Dad's get one day a week and every second weekend. I live a few blocks away from STBX and did so purposely so when the kids were with me they could still be in the same neighbourhood, less change for them. I think everybody who goes through this has it tough! And time does not heal all wounds, it's more what we do with the time that heals them. I know people who have been separated/divorced for many years and still have to battle those feelings e.g. failure, lonliness etc. When you take the Divorce trip it ain't no three hour tour! We have Mennonites in the Kitchener-Waterloo area of Ontario, we used to take school trips to visit them. I know they didn't smell!
