still building the missing half

[Struggling_Husba]

I grabbed your email address and put it in my contact database under "Missing, Half".

As for your kids, I'm sorry. I am going through it too. Mine are D6 and S3. My daughter says all her friends are lucky cause the parents don't live in separate houses. She also asked if when W and I get divorced, does that mean the parents stop loving the kids.

My standard line is "I'm sorry this is happening. Our family is going through a really hard time. I wish it were not happening. But these problems are grown up problems. They have nothing to do with you. Kids should not even try to get involved with grown up problems. A kid's only job is to be a kid." Then of course I constantly reassure them about my love and their Mom's love, that we'll never leave them, and that they will always be safe and loved and taken care of. Then I smother them with hugs and kisses until they beg me to stop.
