Anybody else out there whose child lives in another state with the other parent?
My son lives with his dad in Indiana and I live in Washington. I came out here to go back to school but stayed because my son loves it so much here he wants to live here after high school. So I'm not moving back. He visits for weeks in the summer, spring break and I go home often to be with him as well. He just left last Saturday and I was just getting into the routine of being mom again and suddenly he is gone. The house is empty as hell. I have very few friends and don't have alot in my life but a part time job. Does anyone else have this situation. How do you cope with saying goodbye to your child over and over again. I'm a mom for a brief time, then I'm nothing. I miss his teenage friends and all the fun things they do together. I love watching him around friends. Now the closest I can get to him is a phone call or a text message. I feel so awful today. Just wondering if anyone else goes through this? Posted on 07/25/08, 02:07 pm |

My 3 sons grew up at their fathers house, though we were in the same state and close cities, as the teenage years came on I didn't get much time with them and became the second house, I can completely relate to your situation. It's hard to go from, a full time parent to a part time or almost extinct parent is how I felt. The only thing that kept me going was them though. Keep yourself busy. I would work 2 jobs sometimes, if need be and try to make friends, but its hard , i know iI suffer with BP also, so that takes its tole..If you ever need to talk I am here. You are not alone. We just have to do what is best for our kids and belive in them. Keep up your contact and love them from within.... It will all work out... Hugs your way
