Thanks for your advice regarding the children.

We have 4 children. D 21 and 19 and S 15 and 13 years.It is very hard because their Dad laid all the blame at my door for him leaving. D19 is very much her Dad's girl and can be harsh about what has happened. None of the children except the eldest will discuss what has happened as they believe this is it now and we need to move on. Whilst I accept that this maybe how it turns out I feel it is early days yet.

Maybe it would be wise to stand back and watch and not tell him what he can discuss with the children.
