My xh left when my D was 11 and S was 5 Today she is 21 and a most amazing girl-off at college We became close when he left and remain extremely close My s now 15 is also very grounded My kids have both adjusted and let go of their Dad- They may have scars-but they are not acting out form them
Our kids learn from us even though one parent has left, I have experienced strong and brave kids as long as one parent remained available and present-
