Anyone else feel sad and lonely when your kid goes to their fathers house for the weekend.?

This is the first time in a year or two I think since my son went to stay over to his dads for the weekend. I feel so sad and lonely and with anxiety now that he just left. I love my son and he’s been asking to go to his dads. He just turned 7 and I don’t want to not let him go just because he doesn’t send child support and all. Then he’ll resent me. So I just feel so weird about this. But I’m also trying to be the bigger person for my sons sake. 😭

Of course this would be hard to do as a mom but you are doing the right thing by your son. Keeping a healthy balance will mean he will have both a mother and father figure in life.

Thank you. 😭 💕

If you know your kid is going to his Dads ring friends get out make plans keep your mind and body busy, do things you love. Girls nights in, drinks/dinner, go do your hair/nails/facials etc go use the spa, the gym, a fitness class, the sauna. Go for a walk, sit on the beach, Recharge your mental health. I see that you are Spanish and you like dancing, maybe immerse yourself in the Latin community in your state, take up bachata and salsa dancing? There’s a couple in your state that do lessons and a social I just don’t know how far they are from you, one social is on every Sat at the Holdiay Inn on West Touhy called Sal’cita Saturdays. The other one on Fridays at The Rocky club. (I typed it up on FB “bachata Illinois” and it came up) - I dance every Friday here in my state My group of gfs gather every fortnight coz their kids go to the BD fortnightly lol we have a girls night every 2w and any playdates w the kids in between, out of 5 I’m the only one still married lol they’re all single
