My kids are 8 and 10, their Dad and I have been divorced since 2021. The first couple years were the most difficult but we do get along pretty well. We've always done birthday parties together, we do some smaller trips together (like an overnight to a water park). We even do many holidays together. I stay at his house sometimes even though I have my own place. The lines get blurry because we do have some intimacy in the last couple of years. Neither of us have really moved on or had other partners. We communicate well, it's obviously not all easy, he can be stubborn. I get along well with his parents, his mom and I are pretty close. When they do vacations with him (this week they are 6 hours away camping with friends) I struggle. I'm at home, I'm sad to not be with them. It's like instant depression and sadness. I'm not bedridden with depression, I do stuff, but my heart aches and my whole demeanor changes. I don't know how to get over or through these things. Does anyone have suggestions or has anyone had a divorce and coparenting anything like this. So many people say we are the oddest divorced couple they know.

I have managed a Chiropractic office for 5.5 years now. I have one coworker but she does scheduling, filing. I handle all the billing, all the insurance work, billing patients, I have to manually enter EOBs. We have also started durable medical equipment work which I have to bill for and had to learn how to do that. I have no IT help, I have to figure it all out myself. It's the doctor, myself and one coworker who as I said can file stuff or schedule. There's no other department, no HR, no anyone else so anything that needs done falls to
Me. My work load has doubled since I started here. We see about 85 patients per week. I make 22/hr and he only lets me have 24-30 hours per week to work. The doctor gets mad at me if things fall behind or get missed. We have auto accident cases, worker's comp cases, Medicare, highmark, United.... it's endless work. I'm at my breaking point. I haven't had a raise since my first year here. I love my patients, I used to love my job but the stress is getting to me. I don't know what other office managers do or what all you handle but this just isn't right.
