We have children around the same age. Your post about letting your daughter know you're trying to save the message is something I've been struggling with. Our 13 year old daughter is so sad and asks me why my husband and I can't stay together. He's so set on leaving. Yet I'm afraid if I say I'm working on trying to keep the marriage that the message would be confusing. Is it silly to worry about that?
Dad wants a divorce, Mom doesn't.
The most I tell them that you can't keep someone who doesn't want to be there. Is this me avoiding conflict and unwittingly acquiescing to his goals?
Would you mind sharing some suggestions? I hope asking this in the middle of your topic is okay.
