I have posted in here before and I realise I am lucky compared to alot off other fathers (I see my daughter for a couple of hours approx 6 days a week)
But I find myself worrying about her all the time, about my ex's new partner playing an active part in my daughters life, about my daughter not wanting to see me (she is 2 and is always delighted when I pick her up, so no signs of this)
I find myself just crying occasionally for no reason or just when I hear a song or just let myself think to much.
Is this normal
Regards
I think what you are experiencing sounds normal as you're grieving the loss of living with your daughter. However, if this is all you think about or are getting upset a lot it might be worth making a doctors appointment and discussing how you feel with them. Also, what do you do with your spare time? Do you have any interests that you might enjoy doing more to get out & take your mind off things a bit? Hope this is some what helpful!
It's great that your daughter loves seeing you. Maybe plan the next time you're seeing her & try & focus on what you're going to do together, rather than on the negatives.
