I know that I am very lucky with the 50/50 custody that I am having with my Son (I know that there are many Dads who have to fight to see their children)...
... However, Its so heartbreaking when my 3.5 year old says "I wish you and Mommy still lived together". I must have told him a million times that I love him in the last 5 weeks, and he always tells me back; but what a blow to the heart this is.
On the days that I have him, we spend so much time doing activities (painting, swimming, cooking, gardening, going to the park etc). I have remained positive to him about his Mother and the situation, but I wondered what kind of experience any other Dads have had in the first few months.
Glad you continue to be the best dad that you can be.
It is heart wrenching to hear your kids talk this way.
I wish I had some sort of magic button to FIX it all but I don't.
