3. Skype, its not perfect but it helps.

So does e-mail and any other way to keep lines of communication open during distance living. I'm sorry you are feeling so lost and hurt. My youngest decided to spend her Senior year of H.S. in another state with her grandparents. Not the way I envisioned this year going. I felt very hurt and sad. But my husband and I left the final decision up to her and she is gone.

We skype mostly. Talk on the phone or use e-mail occasionally. We try to plan visits well in advance so everyone is on the same page. I wish I could be of more help. Hang in there and know it is ok to cry (well I try not to do it in front of my daughter), but my dog has heard me cry, bitch, and moan about it. That helps.

Good luck.
