My young child is spending a week away with his dad for this birthday this year. I'm happy for him ofcourse, and know he will have a lovely time.
I know internally I will be very low while he's gone, especially not being with him to celebrate his birthday. I'm working during the weekdays but am dreading the lonely evenings. It's normally just him and I - and he keeps me very busy!
Any suggestions of things to do to preoccupy me while he's gone and help prevent me sink into a wallowing pit of purposelessness and depression?
