We have had some physically separated posters here that struggled mightily. One in particular I remember from a couple of years ago. So I don't want anyone to think that physical separation is a cake-walk compared to IHS. As I stated above, they both have their own set of unique difficulties, especially when kids are involved and you have to start doing the dropoffs and picksups during physical separation.
However, the posters that struggle the most regardless of IHS or PS usually have one thing in common: they do GAL terribly. The poster I mentioned above had dozens of reasons he couldn't do GAL. So he would sit and stew in his situation. That is not good for anyone in any situation. Which is why one of the first pieces of advice is to go out and GAL and stay busy!!
As other posters like to so often point out to me, I never did PS so I don't really know what it is like. But I can tell you from reading the other sitches here is that you will struggle just as bad with PS if you ignore good DB principles!
