    It can take some time. I've been back OTR for about 1.5 years now and my wife is home with our kids while I'm out. It was hard for the kids at first but they get used to it. It's important to have regular contact though. I try to talk to them all each night before bed if I can. Check out the above posters suggestion as there are many truckers significant others that post here as well.
