Feeling alone tonight

Feeling alone tonight

I'm struggling a bit this evening. I'm really missing my kids and being really enfolded in their lives.

Re: Feeling alone tonight

That can be incredibly hard @esprit. Have you got any ideas about what you can do to distract you from feeling like this for a bit?

I went through several periods when I wasn't able to see my kids and it was awful. I tried to think about all the special things we'd done together and I'd write letters or send them silly but fun pictures Id drawn. By the way : I'm not good at drawing.

Keep talking to us because we are here to help you in whatever way we can.
Take care 🎶

Thanks. Just feeling sad but not too bad. Just needed an understanding ear I guess. So thanks for replying xx

Re: Feeling alone tonight

Would you like to tell us a little about your kids? @esprit

Distraction is only part of the solution. Relationships with children are with us regardless of whether we see them or not.

I am going to see my brothers' 3 kids from his first marriage this week .. so i am happy about that.

@esprit. My son just went to his dads today. I was thinking how nice it would be to have the house to myself. However, I keep turning on the couch to ask him if he saw that - on tv.
So I'm posting on here tonight - trying to think of other things.
I only have one child. A boy. 14 years old.
How old are your children?
