A Week without my daughter😭😭

Hey everyone. So starting yesterday evening, my daughter will be with her dad for a week and that’s the longest we’ve been apart since she’s been born. My daughter turned one on the 15th of Dec. and she’s spent two nights with her dad and it went well but since she’s been gone I’ve been depressed, isolated in my room and crying a lot especially at night as I am typing this right now. If anyone has some advice or just kind words to help me get through this hard week I would greatly appreciate it. I do have plans to hang with my friend on Friday so hopefully that’ll make me feel a little better at least for the moment but anything you guys can say would be appreciated cause I know I’m not alone in this.

I completely understand! I went on vacation for a week with my husband and 2 oldest children and left my 1 yr old with my mom. It was very hard for me at 1st. I kept telling myself I’ll see her in a week. She’s in great hands and I just made sure I video chatted every night to make myself feel better, but I knew it was something that I needed, a reset lots of rest a chance to enjoy and reconnect with myself. Use this time to tap into yourself maybe reading a good book some household projects that you put off really use this time to focus on you so you can be a better version of yourself. For me, looking back now as hard as it was in the beginning I’m so glad I did it. I personally needed the reset. You got this momma!

What is your relationship with dad? If it is cordial ask him to send photos or videos of her having fun. Maybe a video call at the beginning and or end of the day. It is really hard. I only have my older girls on weekends and whenever they don't have school. It can be hard for me still and I've had time to adjust to this. Keep your head up mama!

@Brianne Her dad and I co-parent and I asked him to send pictures. I haven’t received any as of yet and I’m not the type of person to keep bugging and asking for them because I shouldn’t have to considering all the things I send to him and his family. As far as FaceTiming that will make it harder on me and my daughter because once she sees my face and or hears my voice she’ll cry because I’m not there and when we hang up she’ll cry as well.
