No doubt today may be the hardest in your life. I was 12 when my mom told me that my dad moved out. It's such a difficult age anyways, and the news was really hard on me and my 14yr old sister. Your older kids may not have been surprised, but don't count on that with the younger ones. My then-24yr old brother wasn't surprised about my parents, but my sister and I were. I don't think younger kids really notice those things. They don't sense tension the way others do and they don't analyze things either. I know it sounds silly, but make sure they know it's not their fault. I don't know if you're a family that openly says "I love you" to your kids. If not, do it now. Tell them you love them. Then, say it again.
I'll be praying for you.
