I need to be a better dad
First time poster on here. A mix of shame and horror, really.
Last year, through no ones fault, I separated from my partner. It was a long time coming, and there was no drama as such.
I live ten minutes away now, but just struggling with being separated from my daughter. I hurts.
I go over for bedtime, school pick ups, and see her most weekends. It never seems to be enough time, but I cherish each moment.
I have her for the whole day on Saturdays, and I try and show her 'dad is well' and we do have a lovely time.
It just feels lately like I've gone nothing in the tank, as it were. Emotionally. Supportiveley. Financially. Energy wise.
And its not her. Or ex. Or anything. Its just everything is now new, and it's drowning me most days. Finding new ways for our Saturdays to be fun, and silly. I can't even treat her to a flipping Macdonalds or have her over my place (im in temporary shared accommodation is the reason).
I've exhausted myself in everything, and just looking for ideas and to speak to anyone whose been in a similar boat really.
Maybe im the only one, and I kinda hope I'm not.
TL;DR:
What can I do with nine year old this Saturday thats free, fun and just all types of lovely
And
Does anyone whose separated from partner ever feel scared and alone not being with their child.
