A year since we said we're separating exDP has just moved to a flat nearby, while DD (6) and I were out all day. Some furniture taken and so first thing tomorrow DD will be at GM's, where she goes regularly, while I blitz clean and reorganise a bit.
Do you have any tips on managing this transitional period? I'm in need of both practical and emotional. DD hides her sad/bad feelings most of the time, they come out as anger when they do come out, normal I think?
There is a timetable in place that is EOW and 1/2 nights with Dad during the week, on a fortnightly rotation. She knows this and has got used to spending time with us in similar way as each of us stayed away from the family home during this year.
More backstory - exDP and I have new partners, DD spends time with us and them regularly since early this year, so far so good with that, neither partner moving in with each of us yet though this is on the cards for next year. We're up and down with being amicable, today exDP was in tears and I hugged him and we do our best to focus on new happier times ahead.
But god am I all over the place emotionally.
