Yes, it will get easier and it won't take that long. You will find that you can get lots done on those days. Right now it's just compounding the loneliness that you're feeling because of your H. It will get better. Go treat yourself to something that you can't do when you have your kids with you, sit and read a book without being interrupted, take a long hot bubble bath...just find something relaxing for YOU. You've earned it.
