There comes a point in every Dad's life where they will miss their children. I am no exception to this, in fact, many many times I miss them. It would be insulting to you to say that this was never the case for me. I miss my girls on occasion when they are not with me, and I used to have a greater issue in years past with this and my younger child, especially within parts of your old relationships.
Both BLENDED and MARRIED families.
(1) It is okay to miss your kids while you were married or in a previous relationship where they existed. Good memories. You may have some wonderful memories in happy moments with your ex-spouse. That is more than okay.
(2) It is okay to be upset. It is okay to be upset here and there. It is okay to be upset presently.
(a) Missing time not spent with them.
(b) Wondering what they are doing right now.
[Guaranteed they miss you Dad, even if they are chapped about something you said which may or may not have made them upset.]
(3) You wonder if you have done enough for them, or doing enough, or simply "enough" for them.
Yes, yes you are. If you do not believe you have done enough, are enough, etc. Check in with you and your self-worth.
What do I do now that is different and helps?
(1) I feel all of my feelings through without repressing them or distracting myself with something else, (e.g., Netflix, working even more hours to evade the sadness, partying, etc.)
(2) Spend time really taking care of myself. (My kids need me at my best. If I do not look after myself, how can I be fully present or engaged with them. I will not be emotionally available if I do not look after myself mentally, physically, nutritionally.)
(3) I reaffirm that I am more than enough for myself, and my kids.
Enjoy your days off. You get time to recouperate.
Let's do this!
