My sister split up with her DH last year, they have two young boys (4 and 3) together, he has them for 2 nights a week.
She is living with a new partner (its a complicated, long story), so isn't alone but is really struggling every time the boys go and stay at their dad's house with missing them. She has tried asking her ex if she can speak to the boys whilst they're there or if he will text her and let her know they're okay, he has refused both of these requests.
She keeps busy by working long hours and doing things with her partner, but she basically seems to cry for 2 days every week and with time she seems to be getting worse rather than better each week.
She was so unhappy with her ex, we all hoped that she would find happiness now, but she seems to be feeling worse than ever.
Is there anything I can say, suggest, advise that may help her come to terms with things?
