I cant imagine not being in my kids life. We split custody 50/50, but both of us want more time. Anytime she has plans and needs me to take him, Im like YUP! Before she can even finish asking. I pick him up and take him to all his practices and extracurricular activities, even during her weeks. He calls me if he needs a ride and his mom is busy. I would love to find someone, but after priortizing him and my job, it barely leaves time for friends/family. I sacrifice every day.

Thats tough. Im sorry you’re having go through that. But let me tell you it will be worth it at the end. Those kids will realize who the real parent is. Trust me. Im proud to say I sacrificed, stayed during a seperation period and Im better for it. Not to mention my now family. It matters. Stay strong and focus on you, your kids and the bigger picture.
