Tonight’s transition was a rough one

The transition has been a rough one. The boys had a good visit with their Mom and that's something that's important to me but the transition is always a challenge.

How did the boys overnight visitation go?

The boys just got home from their every other weekend, overnight stay with their Mom. For the past year,  these visits have been very difficult for them,  especially where Elliott is concerned. That being said,  the visits have recently made a turn for the better and that's a really good feeling. Today it seems to have gone well once again. That doesn't mean there are difficulties with transition but that's to be expected and is pretty much out of everyone's control. The boys are home and it's good to have them home.  The transition is rough but it's good to have them home. ☺
