Yes, my W is struggling with this as well. I think she expected the kids to just coast on through it like nothing. I had shared with her what it was like for me and my brother when our parents got D'd and I read articles to her talking about the negative impact D has on kids. But like most WAS's, I'm sure she thought "well yeah, but MY kids are different." But over the weekend she started crying about it, seems she's realizing how much it's hurting them. It's been 2-1/2 months since she left and 5-1/2 months since BD and she's just now acknowledging the impact it's having on the kids.
