16 years ago I went into 17 hours of labor just to find out that DD16 was a moon baby and too big and needed to be delivered via emergency c-section. I spent 10 days in the hospital with her, having an infection from the delivery, a fever for a week, not being able to nurse because of the high dose of antibiotics and pain killers they had to give me.
A rough start. But nothing compared to not being with DD on her birthday. This is my first time ever she is not here with me. She is on a roadtrip with her father, a result of this divorce I did not want.
I hate it.
Temporarily independent with the whole world at my feet.

I'm so very sorry. I hate it too.
It feels like time and moments stolen from me - taken against my will.
This is the brutal part - this is the part I will never get used to.
I may have reached a point where I'd piss on him if he was on fire.... eventually!!

My kids are going on their out-of-state, weeklong vacation in a couple of days. I hate it and want it over with so much. I know I'll be fine, but like you said, being separated from my babies is the result of his selfish behavior. I didn't sign on for this.
I'm sorry that you can't be with your DD today. I hope you get the chance to talk to her and then plan something nice for when she gets back.

(((fraeuken))) I am sorry to hear the pain of your separation from your daughter.
I hope she is at least having a good time on the road trip and that you can plan a fun celebration of her birthday when she returns.
Separation from our children and the impact on them is the worst part of this ugly business.

I am so sorry. I well remember the pain of the first Christmas and Thanksgiving without my son. The D always ruined the holiday's for me because he had him either 1/2 Christmas day and Christmas eve and every other Thanksgiving. The last few my son didn't even come home. He also got him every Spring Break and that was when his B-day was. It never seemed to bother my son, just me. He got double the attention and presents at Christmas so he was happy. Now I dread the holiday's and would just like to pretend they didn't exist. Hang in there. I can't say it gets better, but you will survive through it. (((HUGS)))

Fraeuken, I read your profile and I have been doing many of the same things you have been doing. I have been reconnecting with old friends whom I lost touch with. Reaching out to make new friends and I am starting a second career and look forward to volunteering in my community reading to kids who live at a family homeless shelter.
This whole ordeal is making me break out and rediscover the world and myself. Since I met my husband, I lost touch with both. I was too busy with work, commute, caring for needs of the family.
