Keep busy, Try to do things that you might not be able to do, when your child is there. Maybe take a lil vacation, just have some mommy time, and enjoy it. Make sure you talk to your child a couple of times a week (2), so that you know he/she is fine. Relax, I know this easier said then done. But try it. Good luck 2 u!!

I am having the same problem. My children's father is gone. He passed away a year ago. I am allowing my children to spend 3 weeks of the summer out of state with his parents so they can keep that connection to his side of the family. It is going to be hard as I've never been separated from them for more than a couple of days at a time but I know that this is important for them. I plan to have some well needed alone time with my boyfriend. I also plan to take some time for me. Do some things I like to do. Read some books I've not been able to find time to finish. Go for walks in the park. Focus on me for awhile. It's still going to be hard but maybe We'll both be able to get through. Just keep in mind it's good for your child to have that time with him and keep busy. It'll go quicker than we think, I hope!

in case you've been split up, why would you go away him over this? in case you were at the same time which will be one component, yet he had moved out and also you knew he become courting. You took him decrease back, once you knew the rumors. Wait till you spot the DNA outcomes previously you freak out, besides. I nevertheless do not realize why you're so mad, you've been on a damage... it really is compared to he might want to were pining for you.

Don't fixate on the idea of separation, find other things to fill your time....look at it as having "me" time. You may want to take the opportunity to start a new hobby, or participte in activities you normally cannot. Think of positive aspects rather then negative...go ut, get a massage, or a facial, or a manicure. Go out to a nightclub without feeling guilty about using a babbysitter. Stay overnight in a bed and breakfast. Be positive, a positive outlook makes all the difference. :)

Have a girls night out. Re-arrange the furniture in the house.
Rent some movies to watch that you would not normally get to watch with the kid.
Find a hobby that you are interested in..
Think of this as practice for when your child is ready to leave the nest....because you will have to go threw this all over again the older they get. As hard as I know it is, this is time for you to find yourself and remember you are more than a mom, you are a person with likes and dislikes.....
It is also okay to talk to the child on the phone while he/she is at their dads..just make time to keep in touch.

Enjoy your free time and be thankful that the child's father is in their life. Its tough being a single mother especially when the father isn't a part of his life. Find a new hobby to occupy your time.

i am going though the same thing, its been almost 2 months and they are coming home July 15.....i just made myself busy everyday, I've pretty much had plans everyday after work and on the weekends, i've made new friends, got to do things i don't get to do with my kids around, soon you'll see that its a nice break, its nice to be an adult for a little while and to be able to hang out with adults, also don't dwell on the fact that your child is gone, it makes it worse....when its time for your child to come you will feel great and will appreciate your time with your child so much more

I have a couple of boys that go to see there dad during the summer. I went and got them one of those trak phones and that way I can call them everyday and believe it or not they tend to call me a whole lot more. I spend my free time with a good book and a carton of ice cream.
