I'm divorced for 4 years now, and I hate when my kids are away from me at their dad's. I get real depressed. They were gone over the weekend and I didn't have any fun, even though I was out with friends, I miss my kids terribly. Do you ever get over this feeling?

It is tough and everybody adjusts at a different rate. I am now at the point that while I miss my son, I do things for me that I would not have the time for if he was around. I also tell myself that this is the best thing for HIM. Don't make this about you missing the kids, make this about your kids getting to have the love of both parents. If you really need to be around children, volunteer at your local hospital.

Ofcourse its normal to feel that way. Most women cry out for that same thing. There is nothing to get over, as long as ur kids hve to spend the wknd at their dad. My advice to u is to go out with friends when they are not around. Maybe u need some time out with some friends to cheer u up. I do u hope u will feel differently from now on........goodluck!

Sure I did, my kids were my life when they lived at home. Then they grew up and moved out and I missed them. But life goes on and I have to live my life too. I did my job and raised my kids now it's time for me to enjoy my life being single and living alone and let me tell you, I'm having a blast!

After a while you will because the divorce is still a little fresh to you.In time your wounds will heal after the love is gone and in time you will be glad for those weekend visits

I can only imagine.I am not divorced but I love my girls to death.I cant stand being away from them for too long.Most mothers I think feel this way so what you're feeling is totally normal.You're a mother!

Honey,,,,if you ever do get over this feeling let me know because I don't think you will ever get over it. When they are with their dad , You have to realize that they need that time with him. Try to look at it from their perspective. Also try to keep busy doing something to ease the hurt of them being away from you.

u love them. are they safe at dads? does he love them? if so, work on it. u will gradually be able to accept that he has rights too. if he is abusive to them then petition to reduce visitation.
