hope456 - he filed, what now?

[rayzzz]

Oh hope, you did well and my heart goes out to you. Did you two break at all and cry when you were telling D7?
We are telling our kids in two days about our separation. My WAW wants to make sure the kids know "we are never ever getting back together" (like the Taylor Swift song...so lame)
and we have a script and read that you need to be strong and a bit hopeful so all the kids dont lose it...as they look to their parents for security that everything is going to be ok.
I have a different phrase from your husband in that I am going to say "Daddy is going to work really hard at being a better friend to Mommy"
I love that your D7 was still able to be a kid....they process different from us.....playing with her friend and that beginning of acceptance. my C said children are resilient so that is good to know. and beautiful that you were wise enough to tell her about D during the day. If you do it at bedtime its just gonna be a freak out. so stay strong you are doing the right things. Peace & prayers
