My name is Sarah, I am 28, was married for almost 9 yrs and I've been divorced less than 6 months. I have 2 daughters and the older (9) is having a hard time. The girls currently go back and forth on a week to week basis. Somedays life is perfect and couldn't get much better, but there's always a wrench thrown in the spokes at some point. I'm here looking to find the light at the end of the tunnel and learn a few new things as I go!

Hi Sarah, I don't have any advice...but wanted to let you know that I am in the same boat. I was married 12 years and have a 10 & 7 year old that go back and forth on a week to week basis. I am having trouble with my 10 year old, his dad talks to him like a buddy instead of his son, and causes undue stress on him. I totally relate tot he somedays are perfect and others feel like the world is crashing down all around me. I know there has to be a light at the end of the tunnel and for the most part I am happier now than I have been for several years. All I can say is hang in there and if you ever want to chat, feel free to contact me....we all need someone who can understand what we are going through!

Just remind your kids how lucky they are to have two homes, 2 christmases (if that's the case) and there are some children out there that are homeless or don't have a mom or dad.

I wish I could help you, I'm on here myself trying to figure what to do to prepare for a divorce. I have seen many children go through it, it just seems so different when they are your children. My cousin who is now 18 years old did the week to week thing and loved it. He said he didn't feel pressure to live with either parent and I believe that he had dinner with the opposite parent on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. I thought that the week to week thing would be too hard on kids, but I'm finiding more and more children would rather. Hope it is working out for you!
