Just dropped the kids off at mom's place - needed to vent
Every transition is awkward. My 5 year old cried a little when I left which broke my heart. I know it's normal but man it doesn't get easier. Their mom and I text every few hours about them which is good but also hard because I miss them so much. 3 more days until I pick them up again.
That moment when they cry hits different every time, doesn't it? Even when you know intellectually that transitions are normal and they'll be fine. Your heart just aches.
