That does sound like a tough domestic situation and I completely understand how you would miss your children, I missed mine too.
The thing is you have to allow yourself more sober time to really understand your own situation and also to see how your family react to you as a consistently sober person. It's possible thattheir attitude towards you might change too after a couple of months and if they don't then at least you would be much better placed mentally to decide what to do next.
Do you have any way of contacting your children and letting them know how you are feeling?
Thanks for the response. Of course there is nothing I can do about my sons. Uncle Sam determines when they can come home. And it is hard for me to get the BFE locales they are in. But I am close to both. And always have been. I am close to my daughters as well, but busy teens are busy teens, and they live with my first wife 30 minutes away.
But you’re exactly right. I need to give it some time.
