Hello to anyone who might look into this group. 

I created this group as a parent who struggles to deal with not having custody of one of my children. I am looking to create a space where parents can get advice from other people who have maybe already gone through this, or ideas about how to get through each day. 

One of the biggest inspirations right now is that in a week I get to see my child for the first time in almost two years. And it is an actual visit, 5 weeks. I am really excited because of it, but then I have concerns that I am not sure if or how I should deal with. The first question is what does my son need to make the trip, should I ask his Dad about the rules of his house, should I ask about his routine, what things should I know before I get my son for this first visit?
