I have been separated for about seven months . I missed my
daughter very much when she is not with me . I am alone but not always lonely . It is a very difficult time as we attempt to work out our differences . I feel some guilt for I left the marriage even though we had been struggling for a number of years . We have divided the home ( she has the house and furniture – I have the car and half the value of the property after some dispute ) and we are trying to share custody of our five year old daughter . We have much to discuss but it is often very stressful – there are feelings of guilt , anger , and confusion – maybe fear of the unknown or fear of being alone.
