Hopeless feelings

[flowmom]

mb28, we're both dealing with new situations and I've gone along with things that I'm reconsidering now as well. Regardless of what happens with your marriage, your children need you to be an advocate for them. My parenting goal right now is creating as little change as possible for them for the time being. Having their father moved out has rocked their world already, losing their physical home would really add to their stress and I would avoid that if you possibly can. I would suggest saying, "I'd like us to reconsider the idea of selling the house. I've thought about it and I realize that it's not what's best for the children right now. Regardless of what's going on in our marriage, they deserve to have their home base maintained as a safe place for them if at all possible. Moves are very stressful for children, and they don't need the added stress of that. We have time to figure out the finances."
