We didn't really ever have the classic sit down. They unfortunately heard several of our fights and knew a long time ago things were bad. And they both have known for a long time that their mother is driving the bus. Recent efforts have mainly been relatively frequent one-on-ones by both parents. It has always sounded like you guys did a much better job insulating your kids from the realities of your sitch, so they probably do need a more formal sit down, as they really might still not realize it's happening and need that moment of realization to be with parents there. Hopefully your W is on her A game for that; I know you will.
