My D is 6 and she knows there are issues. She sees me sleeping in another bedroom and we don't do things together. IT TEARS at my heart daily but I keep a happy face all the time with her. I did have a breakdown a few months ago in front of her crying and she birst into tears. Said I had stomach pains/virus and was in pain..ugh

Have you seen any therapists together on how to tell the kids? Any advice if so?

We are going to go at the right time...soon....on how to handle this as she is an only child and will struggle regardless of anyone telling me kids are resilient


When we had to tell them that we were separating we met with an IC that i go to. but when we actually had to have the talk she made me furious. she basically left me to do all of the talking. All she did was try to get them excited about getting new stuff at her place. In the end it didnt work.
