Jaime, I know those feelings. My kids are used to it by now because it's all they've really ever known but they still have moments of intense sadness over it.(we all do). Not too long ago my ex left after dropping them at my house after his visitation and our middle daughter burst into tears the moment his car drove away. She was just devastated that he left. And it's been 3 years since he left us. She was not even 3 yet when he left so for as long as she can remember he has lived in his own house. But it just hit her at that point that her daddy was leaving and she didn't want him to go. And I felt so horrible that I couldn't fix it for her and make it better. Like your situation, it was his choice to leave. And it's not his fault, I know we both contributed to this divorce. It's just that I felt awful for our kids who love their daddy and want so badly for us to all live together and be a family.
