Yes that is common for kids to feel intense emotions when their parent separate. Don't worry just reassure them that both mommy and daddy love them
assistant
Reflection of feelings
That's all I can do. Idk. They started visitation with their daddy this weekend and i feel anxious to let them go because their father is not the most attentive person.

Affirmation and Reassurance
You mean like a hot bath? Or a good book?
user

Well darlin that depends. Do you enjoy those things? Why not pamper yourself? Mothers work nonstop, they deserve a break. All in all he is their father and will not risk neglecting them. Because if he does he loses them
assistant
Question
Yea i suppose your right. Btw yes i love to soak in the tub with a bath bomb and a good book. Yea no one really seems to understand what us mothers go through on a daily basis. I'm glad it's not just me who sees it.

Of course sweetie, just remember to take care of you. There is still a woman under the mother. A lot of moms forget that and neglect themselves.

Oh that's exciting! You get to start dating again! I didn't look forward it myself mainly because im jaded and have little faith in men XD. What do you look for in a man?
assistant
Question
That's easy! Someone intelligent, good looking, kind, dominate, hardworking. Someone who loves to get out, but is just as happy to sit down and binge watch netflix.
