Miss my girls so much

ldoo

When does it get easier? I'm 6 weeks into this sharing custody thing, and one week into overnights with their dad. They're just so young. They want their mommy. And I went from never leaving them until they were in bed (aside from my job) to seeing them for two days, then having to drop them off. Then two days. Then drop off. Over and over. The same cycle where I feel like we just get comfortable, then it's time to switch. I feel like all I want is a solid week with just my girls. But I know that's not happening. Even when I'm with them, I miss them.

And I feel like my nearly 4yo isn't outwardly showing much stress, but might be desperately missing me but not really saying it. How do I know if she's OK? And when does it get easier for me?
