The look of despair, anger, grief, and ultimately resignation on their faces it the worst thing I've ever seen.
(((Awoken))) This just broke my heart! I'm so sorry you had to experience that with your children.
I think you handled it well. You were firm in expecting your W to say the things that the both of you had agreed upon and laid the filing where it belonged. I think it's a good thing that the kids wanted to talk to each other alone. They may have more questions after awhile. Just prepare yourself.
I guess now the hard part starts. It's never easy even when you know it's coming, is it?
