hi everyone.
On Wednesday, my DD will be done with first grade. Thanks to my disorder, I had to quit my job 3 weeks ago. I'm glad though b/c I can stay home with DD.
Her father lives an hour and a half away, and under normal circumstances he has her every other weekend. this will be the first summer where she goes to spend a significant amount of time with him. She goes for 2 2 week visits with him. Her first visit starts on July 2nd. I can feel axiety in me when I think about her being gone. My BF works full time during the day so I'll be alone most of the time. It's hard to find ways to keep busy, with me not working our budget has gone way down...
I've also been having dreams, alot of them are of my DD having the same disorder when she gets older...
I hate getting so panicy when I think about this stuff...like DD being gone to her father's, I worry about how she'll be while she's gone, what if she gets sick or hurt...
I needed to vent...sort of...thanks for listening

Hi Jen,
Welcome Boy!!! do I remember the time of my ds going to visit his dad but you know what she will be fine I sure she will call you if she isn't or you will know. but I always play a game with myself to see how much I could spring or winter clean when he was gone or go pamper my self in the tub get busy that is what got me through it. I hope I have helped alittle and you vent or post anytime and we would love to here an update. Have a good Day and stay busy.

that when my husband left for a trip to Germany with my dd
and grand daughter I was very upset!!! I have never been without him
here. I made a list of things I have always wanted to do and have put
off for one reason or another---- when he left I was a mess for a day
and night but soon I realized it is time to make PEACE with myself!!
I spent my days and nights doing what I WANTED!! It ended up being
a good relaxing time for me. I finished the photo albums, cleaned and
cleaned, babied myself with long baths and did my nails, read a book,
hung out with our other daughter her boyfriend and my son!!!
I realized I was so different without him around-------- how interesting!!
Take it ONE DAY AT A TIME!!! and yes come here and get some SUPPORT!!!
WE know how you feel----- GB, Judy

Hi there. I do not have kids but I think I understand how you feel. I spend lots of time with my hubby and when he is not around, I get anxious. I think it is a change of what we are used to that throws us sometimes and being alone scares me because then I tend to think too much. I am sure you will be missing her naturally but maybe the change is what is scaring you. I find that noise helps me. Turn on the TV, maybe music too, open your blinds to let light in, just keep things lit up and activity going on if you feel uneasy. Also, if it gets to bad, go to a bookstore or something like that. Just being around activity helps me some.
