Lis mentioned something very important that I forgot... letting go and accepting means giving it to God. Trusting in Him and His plan for us and for our children. That will be the other key element to helping our kids through this.
Also, I think that if our spouse is not being a good role model for our kids, we can look to friends or extended family to be a positive role model. I am fortunate in my life to have a great father and brother who my boys can look up to. I also have a two very close male friends. I say male becuase i have boys and I think thta role models often come in the form of a same-sex family member or friend.
I do think that being honest with our kids is important. But I also think we need to filter it at times, depending on their age. If they're teens or adults, total honesty is probably a good thing. In my case with very young kids, I try to be as honest as I can in a way that they will understand and not be scarred.
