My wife is divorcing me due to her having an affair. I've been with my two little girls every day of their lives and now Im only going to get to see them every other week. Those of you that have been through this, how did you cope with the hurt of being away from your children?

I've been through this exact situation. I luckily have a working relationship with my ex still. I get my two boys 3 nights every weekend. I've found the silver lining to be that you get to have a very different (but still awesome!) relationship with your children. I have found that I cherish every minute I get with them now because it's so rare. I interact with them so much now. Im able to focus on improving myself when they're gone during the week and when I get them I make the best of it that I can and really believe our love has actually grown from all this.

I hope you find some of this helpful and enjoy some of this difficult but possible process!
