Woog,

Just one unsolicited bit of advice, FWIW. No better time than the present to be honest with your kids.

I told her its because we keep getting colds.

And when she asks where babies come from, do you tell her that a stork delivers them?

Kid's are MUCH smarter, more intuned than we give them credit for. She KNOWS what's going on, she's just looking for confirmation. If you continue to deny, cover up, etc. she may become confused, unsure of herself and MORE worried. It may be time to let the cat out of the bag.

It's okay to come clean with your kids. Let them know that Mom and Dad are struggling right now but you're both working hard to make things right. Tell them it's not their fault, there's nothing much they can do to help, but they can sure pray for God to help. And reassure them that the both of you will ALWAYS be there for them no matter what.(and you both better keep that promise). Alot of fear and anxiety that kids feel is from worrying that one or both of you will leave THEM!

This is a good time to pray with your kid's. Teach them how to pray, empower them, etc. We were pretty honest with our kids, and I actually think it helped keep our M together. They asked the tough questions of BOTH of us, and in the end, they were the mortar that ultimately held us both together.

Honesty, not necessarily details, is a very cleansing action.

God Bless,

COG
