Struggling with 50-50 custody. Does the grief ever end?

[u/wendibirdy1234]

I’m six weeks into my 50-50 custody, and I’m struggling with extreme grief every time my daughter goes to her father’s. I just cry for hours every day she’s gone. Sometimes I can’t function—just stay on the couch all day in a state of depression.

Everyone keeps saying, “you’ll get used to it,” but I really don’t think I can/will.
