I had a tough weekend. This was the first weekend we went back to complete boundaries. I didn't get to see my kids much since Thursday. Had anxiety about Tuesday's meeting all weekend. I did stay as busy as I could.

I know it takes time being away from the kids. But it is just blows. Not going to sugar coat it. I miss my kids. I absolutely hate this lifestyle but I'm trying to deal with it. Having a tough time. Really am.

On a postive note I get my kids tomorrow.

Wow law of attractions. I haven't missed putting my S on the bus in 4 1/2 months. My alarm didn't go off today. I missed putting him on the bus the day before mediation. My jaw dropped when I woke up and saw what time it was

Do you know what type of things I could google for finding local divorce support groups or some helpful group to help me have some tools to start coping

Google Divorce Care. The first item that comes up should be the link to their website and then just look for the "find a group near you" button, click that then add in your zip code and there you go. There are 13 weekly sessions and you can start at any time and circle back around as they generally run continuously. There is usually no charge except for the workbook which is about $15.

Big day today. Counselor at 11:30 to help me stay non reactive and listen mode.

I wish I started to read Dad's House, Mom's House when we first got separated. Oh well I didn't know of it. Good read.

Post more later.

Good luck, and remember to listen and breathe.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
