Solo trip changed something for me

Took 3 days away from the fam without the kids last month - just fishing with my buddy up in Maine. Felt guilty the whole time ngl but something about those three days actually... reset me? Came back feeling like I could handle dad stuff again instead of just white-knuckling through it. Not saying everyone needs to abandon their family but maybe I needed to remember who I am outside of being a parent. Anyone else found that helpful?
