In a way it's nice that the old board has died because I'd have gone right back and stuck this on my old thread.
A year, since my wife and I separated and she took my children with her. Bloody hell.
Happier? In some ways, yeah. In some ways, no. In the ways that my children are happy about, which is pretty much all I care about, yes - they are delighted with their weekends with Daddy now, and I like to think that they are happier with their lives now, which seem to be happy with Mummy in the week, and happy with Daddy at weekends, whereas previously it was living with Mummy and Daddy grumpy with each other all the time, which made them unhappy.
I miss them all terribly, though, and I'm not sure when that's going to stop. Even the ex-wife. I've not met anyone else yet; maybe that's part of it. But I kind of live my life now so that it's geared around each alternate weekend when I have my daughters. It doesn't really leave an awful lot of time for even meeting anyone new.
So yeah, on nights like tonight, I'm kind of feeling low, and feeling blue. Getting it off my chest feels better already, though.
