I live a long way from my dad. I don't get to see him that much. I'm on maternity leave so can visit him every so often but it's a long drive with a little baby on my own (DH at work).
He's my best friend. I see him once a month tops. I'm jealous of DH who had all his family round the corner (we can't move closer because of his DSD). I knew this when we got together. I don't resent him for it.
I just spent a few days with my mum and Dad over Christmas. Back at home now and they're in my hometown.
My mum visits much more often as she's flexible. I used to visit once or twice a month but now I have a baby I can't. It would be unfair on DH and DSD to be gone for over a week of every month.
I'm in tears because I just miss my dad so, so much. I'm sad he doesn't get to see his grandson often. I feel guilty about it.
I have severe anxiety and think I may have PND.
How do I cope with the guilt of being so far away from my dad? How do I deal withmissing him so much?
Why does Christmas make you feel so shit?
