Hello ladies and gentleman.My son who’s 7 is having a difficult time with the separation of his mom and I. Her and I have an amicable divorce process and have 50/50 custody of the children. The kids go freely from house to house and there are no major problems between the two of us for the moment. I have my Own house, 5 minutes away from the old home. I have worked very hard to make the place comfortable for the children. I live in a nice neighborhood and we are in the process of making new friends here also.Recently my son has been having severe crying fits over not being with his mother. Some times when I pick him up he states that he wants to go home and be with mom, or even drive to her work. Yesterday the sadness was so deep I had to pull over on the side of the express way to hold him and his sister while they cried. This is the second or third time we have had the situation get that bad.I have also noticed that he is having a difficult time separating from friends. When we have an outing with some of the new friends we are making he does not want to leave. Tonight for instance we were at a party and he almost physically fought me when I said it was time to leave. He just does not want to miss out on the fun. Then afterwards cue the tears and wanting mom.When these kids are not with me, apparently I’m all they talk about, so I know that I’m not a bad father and they enjoy being with me. I try my hardest for them but this is really taking a toll on me emotionally. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for how I can handle this? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/37gMyzQ
