The most difficult, heart wrenching part of the past 5 Months for me has been not being with my children everyday, not knowing if they brushed their teeth, practiced their letters, how school was, the current days rambling about preschool love lives but I always worried endlessly that they would forget that Mommy exists, or the sound of my voice,or how much I love them. While I continue to be met with resistance from my soon to be ex husband, I mail my kids pages I've colored for them almost daily or stickers ect, on Valentine's I bought a recordable card and wished the kids a happy Valentine's and thankfully he sms give them that. One of the best things I've been able to do to keep my voice present and accessible anytime my daughter needs it is I purchased one of hallmarks recordable books, all the ways I love you, read and recorded it, added a few personal lines and gave it to my daughter during a supervised visit. That way I knew she got it since I handed it to her and the family specialist was also aware of it which ceased any petty disputes my ex could raise about it. My kids however LOVE that book and still listen to it several times a week, my 4 year old likes the last page where I wish her good night, tell her to wish on our star and that I love her so much.
It's a pale comparison to the relationship and interaction we are used to and should have but sometimes a little bit of something ls better than nothing! Check out a couple of the links below for recordable books.
