Any thoughts on what to tell kids about the separation? Ages 5 & 7.
I wa just thinking we would say mommy and daddy are going to live at separate places right now. And tell them that they will be spending time at both places.
Those are tough ages, not sure what would be appropriate. I told my 11 year old son the truth, what WW did. It made him sad that day but I think it has helped him since. He understands the issue and he knows what is really going on, instead of the manure that my WW wanted us to feed him.
When I was about the same age, my dad cheated on my mom. People lied to me for 6 months before telling me the truth. It was terrible to try to piece together facts from lies, so I knew I had to tell my son the truth.
