he'll be with his dad for seven days. that's about 6 days more than I like. I am trying to keep busy and for some reason I can't settle down to read, if there is a dull moment a watch cheers to distract myself. I'm reading two very interesting books but I just can't read... he won't come home 'till Sunday. and he will start pre-school on the third. last Sunday when he had left with his dad I went to the mall to buy him a shirt, ended up buying sw toy for myself and a beautiful lamp. it was kinda funny but it was the last one and the boy that was working there asked me with a strange look on his face 'why I wanted this lamp?' he clearly didn't like it. then I came home and watched cheers I'm on season 4 now. on monday I took the dog for a bike ride and then I went to ikea and bought a bookcase and more stuff. yesterday I visited my brother and then went with my other brother to the movies and ended in a cafe with my friends, one of them just bought a Rottweiler pup so cute! went home and watched cheers 'till I fell asleep and now I have found out that my son and his dad are going camping this weekend so he won't be home 'till sunday and at the moment I don't want to do anything. How can I find more stuff to do so I won't go crazy! I am way to addicted to my son. I need to relax or something. arg

    I wouldn't say you're addicted to your son, Helga, just that you're used to your life being shaped by him. Most of the time your time is dictated by his needs; mealtimes, playtimes, bedtime. Now it is not. It's going to take a bit of getting used to and it's going to be more difficult because sometimes he'll be there and sometimes he won't. If you're going to move forward you may need to work out an agreed schedule with your ex, for all your sakes, so that you can at least plan for the times when he won't be there and find something constructive to fill the gap. It's not fair of your ex to just decide he's keeping your son for a few more days, and a fluid approach like that can result in an 'I'll take him when I want him and not when I don't' approach which is disruptive for everyone.

    Anyway, when you're back in school all that homework will keep you occupied. In the meantime, it sounds like you could use some company. Is there anyone you can go out with: shopping or lunch or a night out or anything?

    I understand. It's like a hole in your life. Try to do the best you can. I find physical activity takes the mind off things like that more so than intellectual activity.
