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

It’s awful, spent a lot of time dating around just because I hated being alone. It really doesn’t get better but be honest with your kids and they will see the truth in the matter. It is to the point now where they dread going to their moms and the oldest kids asked to live with me. Now even the youngest starting high school is refusing to live with her. The saddest part is she moved an hour away and she is okay with them living with me. I don’t know what would make a mom just check out but honestly I think it has a lot to do with her own upbringing. I still encourage them to spend time with her and I never say a negative thing about her. Keep this attitude and as they get older they will know the truth. Remarried a great girl and she is wonderful with my kids and they love her to death. Life is good although it took some time, hang in there.
