I just remind them that will get to see Daddy and that he loves them very much.
My friend, 3 years divorced, said her kids eventually figured it out on their own, that their Dad was having an affair with a married woman. It is still pretty bad for her three kids. They have rejected their own Dead Beat Dad for their soon to be step father. Her XH never cheated whilst marrried though, like mine did.
My kids found out at Disneyland, that Daddy has an OW. Thanks Mom! I cannot visulaize ever replacing their Dad with a step Parent. dad is always dad, no matter what, right? Yet, I never thought this would happen to a man who wore a sling for 12 months, but I do sense my H detaching from the kids. It is like he is so insecure, he thinks no one likes him, not even his own kids, so he is just kind of disappearing more and more. As my MIL said, he is digging a hole so deep, he cannot get out.
