Just a bit of journaling:

Kids are at choir and will be home at 6. My W will be here at that time to pick them up for the week. I am struggling to find the strength to hold it together. My 6 yr old already told me she is going to miss me. Knowing that I won't see them but for a couple hours here and there really makes me sad tonight for some reason. I don't know how my W can find this enjoyable as I can't imagine that it is for my D's and I know it is not for me. Right now I find myself being so angry with her.

I know suck it up, act "as if" which I will, It's just so hard to imagine that this is my "new" normal and my kids have to live out of a fricken suitcase.

What mother would want to put their child through something like this and not want to work on it is beyond me.
