"The relationship between mommy and daddy is not working. It is not good for us to live together right now, so we are separating. This has NOTHING to do with you, you are the best things in our lives and we both love you very much. We will always be your mommy and daddy. Even though mommy and daddy won't be living together we will still both love you very much and it is OK for you to still love each of us very much.
You can talk to us both right now or either of us separately at any time about anything."
Why are you separating?
"Mommy and daddy care about each other as the other parent of our children. Mommy and daddy don't care about each other like husbands and wives do anymore."
Whose fault is it?
"We are both responsible for things not working. Neither of us wanted our marriage to fail, and we are both very sad that it did."
Will you not separate if we are good?
"Your behavior has nothing to do with the separation. It is not your fault. You can't fix it. It is a problem between mommy and daddy, not with you."
