Hi There,
.
I think most of us have been through this, we see our children every day and then it get stripped back to minimal contact, it does get esier over time.
.
Have you been to see your GP about your sleep, they may be able to help you with some support.

Hi there
I'm sorry you're having a difficult time, it's a tough time for you, but you have to stay strong for your daughters sake, she will be feeling it too I'm sure, and she will need to see that you are dealing with it. Lack of sleep alone will make your situation feel even worse, I think it's good advice to go and see your GP, just for some short time help.
You could try mediation to try and get an agreement for more time, how long have you been separated? If it's early days, things may improve once the dust has settled.
All the best
completely understand where your coming from buddy and i can assure you it does get better over time
talking about how you feel to someone is good as well whether its a friend or a relative, it helps calm your mind and just concentrate on having amazing times when you are with your daughter
I agree that seeing the GP might be a good shout with regard to the lack of sleep and it might be good to consider asking them to refer you for counselling. It might help you process things and to have someone neutral you can talk to about this. Mediation is a good suggestion from Mojo once you are feeling a bit better within yourself.
