DP misses his daughter. She is 6 years old and lives with her mum most of the time. They are amicable and he is a wonderful dad. She has two great parents but spends more time with her mum as she is unemployed so can have her during the day and my DP works full time. He has her every other weekend Wednesday to Sunday and every Thursday evening until 7. He gets tearful when she leaves and is upset for a couple of hours until he sleeps on it. I feel completely helpless and don't know what to say to him to help him. I know there are a lot of mums on here who have to say bye to their little ones for a few weeks in the holidays... can you explain to me how you feel and how a partner can support you potentially not seeing your kids for 3 weeks? Might sound like a really odd question but I know he's finding it hard and I never know what to say...
