For context, I have one. A daughter, she is 9 now. My exwife has her every Monday and Tuesday. I have her every Wednesday and Thursday. We rotate with each having her every other weekend.
I use our time apart to recharge. I spend time with my girlfriend, go to the gym, travel some, take care of the house.
When she comes back to me, I am rested and ready to give her my best efforts. I am a better Dad now than when I was with her Mom, who could still the joy from a Saint.
In three words I can explain all of this: Life goes on…
You will learn a new normal. Sometimes, it’s better than the old.

The guilt of the divorce and what the kids went through going through will never go away, not matter how old they are.
It's extremely hard on them as well.
