It was hell, but I wouldn't say I got more than a glimpse of what single-parenthood would be like.<br /><br />A few years later he had a stint of maybe 6-9 months where he spent most of every month in California. It was a pain, but the kids were at least both walking by that point and it was less awful, and we still saw him regularly.<br /><br />The hardest was when he was in NYC for over a year, and we barely saw him, and even when he was home for a couple days he was so exhausted he mostly slept. It really changed the family dynamic; the kids and I became a unit on our own and it took serious readjustment to reincorporate him. But even then he was there to talk to and work through decisions with or at least call for sympathy.<br /><br />I am full of awe and respect for the job you do on your own.Citationsnoreply@blogger.com
