Talking with some of your friends might help. Where are they buddy?

They love you- and I hope that you feel better soon! :)

That is so sad, mate. From an Aussie friend, can I give you this advice? Your kids might not be with you now, but they will be soon, and they need their daddy to be healthy. So eat something, please. Use it to make sure you are well for when they come and can play with them at full strength. All the best. (BTW, I am a pastor's wife. If you need to talk to someone, go to my profile and email me. My husband and I will be only too glad to lend a shoulder.)

dude, it sure seems like you and i are in similar places at the same time. i have an arrangement where i see my kids almost 1/2 the time. that's pretty generous ... i'd like to see them and my wife all the time but i won't go there, that's a separate discussion you can email me about sometime ... when i'm with the kids, i have a lot more energy, i take time for them and we do things, make memories, that are probably a lot stronger for them than if they lived with me the whole time and i spent the time reading the newspaper. the time together is much more quality time. when apart, well, i call them every night to ask about their day, sweet dreams ... i snack on yogurt, fruits, sherbert, nuts when they're not with me. i talk during the down time with my family, friends, i'm writing a book which i write about 90% of which when the kids aren't here, i'm learning farsi (the more common language in iran. nothing fills the emptiness, but, giving myself some things to do really helps. if i belonged to a church or 12 step program, this would be a lot easier ... i'm sure other guys miss their kids as much as i miss mine ... i keep both kids, myself, and, even my wife, in my prayers. sloppywet, let me know if there's anything i can do ...

First, start by eating to keep your strength up. Then, try not to be sad or worry. Worry is a wasted emotion...what is going to happen will. They will either call you back, or you'll eventually call when they are at home. Either way, you'll be in touch with them soon. Until then, keep yourself healthy.
