Missing my baby girl

I have to learn to coparent with ex-N. But its so hard...my daughter is only 15 mo old and every time he has her overnight I feel like I cant breathe. I worry if she is ok. I cant talk to her because of her age. I try to keep myself busy, run errands go the gym but when I get home and see all her things I just cant hold it together. Any suggestions from those who have been through this?

That's just hard

My heart goes out to you. My kids are older and can essentially take care of themselves when I'm not with them. I have been divorced for 4 years. For the first few months after the divorce it was very difficult for me when they were away with their dad. I cried alot, counted the hours until they would return, called them a lot (usually no one answered the phone). I think it's great that you are keeping busy. I don't know if you are spiritual or not, but I pray a lot when they are away. It helped me. One time my daughter came home after a 3 day visit with the same braids in her hair that she left with. I told my lawyer he needs make sure they bathe and he has. As time has gone by and they have been returned to me safe and sound many times now, I have gained confidence in their safety and quality of care when with their dad. Your baby is going to grow up fast. It will get easier for you when she is away. For now be kind to yourself. Pamper yourself while she is away. Eat your favorite foods. Watch movies you wouldn't be able to watch with her. Read, have some quality time with yourself. Before you know it she will be texting and facebooking with you when she is away. They grow up so fast. Best Wishes to you!
