PS..as for the kids...be honest....be positive...do NOT denigrate your wife. Remember, she will ALWAYS be their MOM and they LOVE HER.

My daughter recently said to me that 'divorce will not be good for me daddy."

How the heck do you respond to a 5 year old darling little girl...to that?

We HAVE to song.

I tell her similar to what SC said....that we weill all be happy someday soon....that this has nothing to do with her....that I love her, will take care of her forever, that I will ALWAYS be her daddy..always listen to her and be there for her. If she persists about something, I will only say that 'mommy and daddy sometimes get very sad together when we are together and that we will all be happy soon.'

It IS sad and I pray that you are in the 5% here. Learn from your posters. Take that which works...discard that which doesn't. You know your W better than we do.
