Yes...IC helps a ton. Puts me into my place and right now these last 2 weeks have gotten to me as I was doing fine for a while
She says I am mourning my loss right now going back n forth from being OK to sadness and why can't this be back to normal
I have really struggled with some of the things that many of the dads on this forum seem to be handling as now a single parent having to co parent
I have major anxiety about me failing in this department and my D not wanting to be with me, asking for mommy, being bored, ...the list goes on. She is an only child and during our marriage earlier on we had a nanny helping out and then my STBX handled alot of the planning as she didn't work and I did.
My IC really helped me with some positive thinking and that I can do it and will do it well. Think it and it will happen. Just got to get through these next month and half to get on my own and see how I can do this.
I also struggle thinking about the "empty house" I will be in when my D isn't there or dogs. But that is where GAL comes in and trying to prepare for that.....
I have been told , and by my IC, this will take time again and again (2 years!)....so I guess many of us just slog through it and hope we come out the other side sooner than later.
