Real question: does it get easier?

First transition day with my kids after the separation was finalized last month. Got them yesterday, dropped them off this morning, and I'm sitting in my apartment feeling completely hollow.

Everyone says "it gets easier" but that feels like bullshit right now. I miss them and they're still in the same city. I hate that I only have them 40% of the time. This sucks and I needed to say it out loud to people who get it.
