Even when you're well out of your marriage, it's natural to miss your lifeafternoons in the yard, the evenings with friends, and especially the kids. Brian, for instance, left his primary home to his wife and children. He found himself paying for their life in the house, however, even though he had no access to the premises and limited contact with his kids. I just feel overwhelmed, he told us. I'm 45 years old, and I'm experiencing a loss of alternatives. My money is committed, and I'm working to sustain a family I'm not even living withand I don't get any of the positives. |

The solution for Brian and others in his situation? Generate the options yourself. Take a new career direction or, for those who have been out of the job market, go back and get some new skills that will enable you to become self-reliant again. |

Remember, if you are the noncustodial parent, feelings of loss can be repaired by throwing yourself into making a home for the children when they are with you. Think of things to do with your children that are ongoing and constant, something that they want to come to your home to dohow about a cooking class together? |
