I remember those days
son would cry as XH left
he was 5 and he told me it hurts when dad leaves
and it did hurt all of us-

so I get how hard it can be to watch them go

but as Job said this is not about you or them-

the MLCer will usually become very robot like-no feeling
In my opinion, to avoid all pain
they need to shut down emotional side as best they can
Most use drugs or alcohol or overworking ect

Many get worse over the years because we were not meant to shut down to avoid pain
we were meant to feel..heal grieve cry and mourn

so allow your kids to feel the pain- comfort them and get therapy and comfort for you
this is a hard road-
to be a single parent
but extremely rewarding
keep moving
you did great
you will heal
get support- join a group/ u tube videos-
and God usually provides help along the way
