Topic: Visiting after divorce

After divorcing, my ex-husband and I have been trying to find the right visitation schedule to make everyone comfortable. We have hit upon a good balance but lately my 6-year-old has been having problems separating from me. She cries and wants to stay with me and I'm not sure how to respond. Her dad (and sisters) tell me that she's fine once they get over to his house but it's that initial separation that's so hard. She has always been a worrier and is the emotional one of my three daughters. She says she worries about me being alone. Does anyone one have similar experiences or some advice on what may help? I'd appreciate it!!
