I'm trying for as close to zero as I can, but until he establishes residency elsewhere I don't qualify for any assistance, and can't afford any alternatives. It is literally less than an hour a week that I will see him. I did apply for a better shift at work which would reduce the time to almost nothing (maybe 5-10 minutes a week for the weekends he takes the little one) but that is the best I can do. He has basically been missing for 6 months now, only spending an hour with us here or there for a long time. He hasn't missed me enough yet, so I don't know how much an effect this will have on him. Right now I'm doing it for me though. The less I see him the less I think about him and what he is doing. It's hard but it will get easier, i hope.
