KG, thks for reminding me that I have come a long way. I also like your way of thinking of this milestone more in terms of myself then about him.
It has also helped me a lot to know that saying bye to my kids every other weekend IS hard. That it is perfectly normal and reasonable for me to be upset when I say bye to them. It also normal and reasonable to miss them. Sometimes I get advice from separated/divorce woman that tell me how freeing it is when the kids go away for the weekend and I definitely get that on a certain level but it really helps to have my over whelming feeling of sadness validated.
Also kg I think we are in the same industry from what I have read in your posts. I prefer not to discuss it here but wanted to mention it to you. Back to one.
