Hi Jim. Sorry you feeling down but I completly understand Your interactions with D4 are normal. Your not a machine and D4 is your princess and S2 is your baby. Of course you have to let them know you miss them and wish you could be with them more.
This is where the big boy pants come in. Your thier dad and its your job to be there for them and part of that is keeping their sadness to a minimum I don't do handovers so I'm just giving my opinion , positive is the only way to go Phrases like , I'm going to miss you so much BUT I'm so looking forward to doing X and Y next time we are together.
Jim , my heart aches when I think of you having to hand them back to W I'm siting on sofa waiting for the shower to beat up while D14 and D11 lie awake waiting for me to go to bed so they can jump in. I put in my post how lucky I am and reading yours just makes me realise even more
This is so tough and it's reality for now All Jim can do is make the best of it.
Re making things worse or better with W. Let that go She's doing her right now and none of us know what the future holds Of course she appears happy and her life looks great from the outside but who knows what's going on really ?
We all know the stats re affairs so sit back and let time do its thing Re not enough things to do of an evening I would point towards Toots She not only a Gals but appears to find the most exciting GAL possible. Try thinking outside the box and maybe charity work ? I work for myself so I do plenty of that !! !!
Jim. One / two words. Roller coaster !
Time will reveal all and reading your posts to myself and others your one of the good guys and goods things will happen
