I have now been out of the house since last wednesday and the loneliness is terrible. I miss my kids greatly and I am very bored at night as my entire world has been upset.<P>My soon to be ex-wife just says buck up and take care of yourself when I tell her I miss the kids. Currently I get to see them once every other weekend.<P>She of course doesn't get it as she has her lover to lean on and sees the kids everyday.<BR>My five year old has gone to bed each of the last two nights crying saying that he misses daddy.<P>She then calls me and tells me to call him! I have done this but it is not meeting my kids needs.<P>I am lost and confused! Help

X and I have nonstandard visitation. We split every weekend. With me one Friday and him that Saturday. Reverses the next weekend. We try to accomodate changes in children's and our own schedules. He gets them 4-8 one evening during the week. He gets to talk to them every night that he doesn't see them. It's better than some peoples arrangements.<P>Weren't you the one who talked about trying to get custody? Go for it but be sure you don't scar up the children too badly. They'll suffer enough anyway. A lot of people manage coparenting. I couldn't do it as my x hates me too much. Really hates me. Admits trying his best to make my life hell.<p>[This message has been edited by cinderella (edited October 18, 2000).]

I was going to go for full custody but decided against it, hurts kids to much and they are already hurting.<P>Coparenting is a joke, that is what happens when both parents are in the house. With divorce it is two single people being parents on their own. At least until the wife remarries which is happening in March. Then we have some new jerk putting in his two cents.<P>Sorry if I sound hostile
