Morning... Being there. And it sucked big time cause H moved all his things in front of them, while they were literally on the floor crying. He moved in 2-3 hours, didnt take anything else but his clothes. It was a bad choice from both our parts but we were both so emotional... I was... crying FOR my kids not him leaving. I would suggest to do everything to keep them away from dramamatic "scenes". I wish we had done that. I wish I had been stronger and in control because they looked up to ME for strength and I let them down. Their reactions was 60% based on how I reacted and 40% on what was going on. At least that day (and later as I realised). Kids proccess things differently. Try to keep calm and focused because they will feel scraed if they see you "loosing it". I dont know how to forgive me and him for that horrible morning my son still remembers clearly.
Protect them from drama. It's not disrespect to take them away. Maybe use that time to talk to them about mom's move, dont ignore the facts or pretend all is well. But keep them out of the eye of the hurricane. K
