Aurgh, the kids. It kills me that they have to go through this. My kids are doing well, all things considered, but my S5 is the one who is changing. Up until a couple of weeks ago, it didn't seem to be that big of a deal to him. Then he started mentioning "dad getting the apartment" and the like. Always dramatic, he then began crying more. At first it wasn't noticeable because he's always been very easily hurt, but now everyday he's pushed over the emotional edge. Not a day goes by that he doesn't cry, for whatever reason, for 45 minutes or so.
My daughter? She's the mature one. She realizes that Dad's confused, has a hard time talking about things that bother him and she doesn't want to "bother" him. I worry that she's trying to take on too much.
All I can do is tell them that I'm here for them, Dad loves them and the two of us are both trying to make the best out of this situation.
I hate that my kids have to deal with this. Lest I get too angry and too depressed, I just have to stop thinking about that.
