I've been thinking forever about how we're going to tell our kids about the divorce. I think my older one (jr. high) will be sad but OK. The younger one (elementary school age) will be bewildered and sad.
The single, hardest thing I've ever done. Period. One of the worst things about it is that we don't have words to comfort their shattered world. And that's what it really is - their world will be shattered. How it shapes them (and it WILL shape them for life) depends a lot on what you do and how you react. I'm sure that you know the rule - never speak ill of their mom in front of them, no matter how bad she is. It will come back.
You are doing great, Gump.

I've also been thinking forever about how I'm going to break the news to my Mom (my Dad passed a few years ago). She doesn't know anything. She'll be utterly heartbroken for me.
No better way that straight forward.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
