Hi, had a bit of a problem on Saturday night. 9year old son very upset. Screaming at me, saying he hated me. Finally he disclosed that he saw his Dad leave last week (h came back 10 minutes later) I said that sometimes adults have arguements and he has nothing to worry about. He just kept calling me a liar. I finally settled him down and we watched a film together. I wasn't going to, but i spoke to H about it, he said he was glad i told him. He said we need to make sure he's okay. H also asked me to give him time....I've already given him a year. He's very depressed at the moment, maybe he's in ow withdrawal stage.. My other son has been out of sorts this week too. It was horrible to see the kids hurting, however it has given me more determination to patch this family back together.

It's such a shame because we hadn't argued near the children for months. It goes to show, it only takes one row to rock their little worlds.
