I guess the most important thing is to let the kids know and show that you will always be there for them. This has nothing to do with them, and they are in no way to blame. They are not losing you, in any way.

I really would let your W tell them - she started the problem - and has to deal with the pain she is causing. Perhaps there is also a positive way to paint things for the kids? Two places is funner than one or so?

I think the veterans here, who have experience with actually separating, will have wiser things to say, but those are my two ore.

Good luck - and sorry to hear you have been hurting -
