I did a terrible job shielding my kids. We got into some heated arguments where things were said within earshot. Plus, they notice when I break down crying, or mom disappears.
My D13 is a bundle of anger, ready to snap at the slightest thing. She is very upset at her mom. D11 is internalizing it and acting moody. D5 is too young to realize what is going on.
I am doing my best to show them love and convince them that their mom loves them and that this is not their fault. Me and the 3 girls start family counseling next week.
