It is quite simple...they need her attention. In their eyes she didn't just leave you, she left them as well.
It doesn't matter the age, it is devastating no matter what the age. I was in 7th grade when my parents separated, a Senior when finally they divorced. I still feel as if he left me.
I was the last at home out of three kids. It was years of misery. I hope for you and your sons it will be a special time between them and you!
Bust on!
