To paraphrase it.......Mom & Dad both love the kids tremendously. Dad loves Mom because she's their mom. Mom loves Dad because he's their dad. But, Mom & Dad aren't going to be married anymore. The kids will have both mom & dad always, & the kids won't have to give up their friends, school or environment. (if that's true of course) which is the main thing the kids are going to need to know.
Doc says kids are fine as long as they keep their friends, their stuff, & their school.
Sorry, this is BS and lies! Tell "Doc" I said so and I do not have 30 years in CBT! But I have a strong mind and heart and I do not make money telling you what you want to hear. Mom and Dad got married because they committed to each other. If Mom is "sick" dad must take care of her. If Dad is "sick" Mom must take care of him. Coping out of this major promise and lying to your kids about it, because they will still have their "friends, school and their stuff" makes them believe this is just fine.
