re: Guys who got divorced with kids; how do you deal with being away from your kids?

It’s very tough at first. My best advice is to stay active. I was always in the gym, or biking or hiking when I didn’t have my kids. Either that or FaceTiming them. It’s hard sending them back and being alone but if your situation was like mine you can view it as a temporary setback for the greater good. Mine certainly was. Alcoholic and mentally ill mother. I now have primary custody and have my kids 99% of the time. Long hard fight but it was worth it. And yes it does get easier.
