Feel like this would just rip my heart out.

I see my kids anytime I want. We have no custody agreement. It does suck when they are at their moms but I see them everyday.

It sucks arse. Just try to call and FaceTime as much as possible. Those Sunday evening goodbyes rips my heart out every single time. Never gets easier.

Do yours go to school?
Do you go to work?
How do you cope?

It sucks, plain and simple. Especially when it was your ex-wife’s fault. You will likely miss half of your child’s life. Fight for your kids.
No idea how some people can peace out on their children.

its really hard at first. Mine was only 2. She is 11 now. After a while you just learn to deal with it. As my daughter is becoming a young lady, I have to admit that im ready for her to go back to her moms at the end of the week. She is becoming harder to figure out. Although I do immediately miss her when she goes back to her moms

It gets really hard when you see her and Jody on vacation in Destin on your dime and she sends the kids to your house in And1 shoes.

Question still stands, how will you cope with not being around them?

Who filed for divorce and why ?

All I know is when I have to deal with my kids without my wife, it’s exhausting. I don’t know how people do it alone. She’d have to really frick up for me to get rid of her!

For me it was the realization that I could still be a good father and it was better for him to not grow up in an unhappy home.
I have joint custody and have him 50% of the time. We have always made the most of our time together and have a great relationship. I don't believe things would have worked out as well had I stayed married to him mom. I was at the point where I despised being around her and would look for anything to use as an excuse to not be home with her.

Luckily I can see mine whenever. I’ll stop by after work, or sometimes my daughter 5 will call and say daddy I want you. If you have a good relationship with the mom, it can be ok. Some advice… be careful falling into depression.

You try to spend any amount of time with them you can.
But every parent justifies working extra hours or career advancement that will benefit the family.
I've seen guys happily married working so many hours they only see their kids via facetime. Then divorced parents who put their kids to bed 4 nights a week and eat lunch at their school during the week.
Divorce and custody issues is nothing more than crutch for parents who want it. Being married doesn't suddenly make you present in your kid's life. Being divorced doesn't make you absent.
