The comments by ur mom's H don't help. I know they mean well but they just put you in self-pity mode. And you're so much more than that! Remember!!! You have 3 little ones that need mom to be their ROCK! Imagine you're the female version of "the Rock" everytime you miss Hs presence.
It's ok to miss him. I did for a while but as time goes on you start to enjoy not having him around. This sounded really sad to me before but now I see it. For example. H always watches TV before going to bed. I hated that. Now things are super calm before bed. I love it.
Don't get me wrong, I still want him back but I need to enjoy what's around me in the meantime.
BTW: H never has the kids overnite but sometimes I wish he did so I could get a break. Enjoy your break!
