Myself and the ex split 3 years back. I see the kids in term time every Monday night, have them every weds/school run Thurs, and up until this week, every fri-sun pm. In the holidays, she has them weekends, I take over in the week (work in a school, also on hols).
Now, she wants them one weekend a month. Fine with me, I guess.. But I've just had them all half term (4/7), and she picked them up around 9 today... And.. Well..
It's. Just. Too. Quiet. It's oppressive. Any plans I had, to catch up on things, I've lost the drive to do suddenly. This always happens. Life without them loses its "go".
Does anyone else find this, or am i odd? If so, how do you cope with it?
