Need to let go

[labug]

GTO, I read this last night and again this morning.

"while mommies and daddies ALWAYS love their children sometimes mommies and daddies stop loving each other. Daddy stopped loving me. I still love daddy. That's why he moved out. He is not planning to move back any time soon. Some mommies and daddies get a D, but we have not talked about this at all. But it is a possibility. It is not what I want for our family at all."

I'm curious why you included what I did a strikethrough on? Were your kids asking for more information? I'm a a believer that kids ask for things when they are ready to deal with it and that different ages will be ready at different times.

Were you telling them because of anxiety you had or were they expressing a need to know more.

My sons are much older than yours but one of my mistakes with them was trying to make it all Dad's fault. He is their father, he's been a great father and they will always love them. Trying to take him down a notch only lessened me a bit in their eyes, and mine.
