I realized something this morning that has always been troubling me since things went pear shaped; I will always love my daughters. Being apart from them won't change how I feel towards them, it might even intensify the feelings. For a long time I worried that I would lose that connection; now I know that if you work at maintaining the connection, giving them unconditional love and support, they'll return it to you.
This was incredibly freeing for me. Hope it helps you too.
