Are they sad, angry, or numb? Are they acting out? How are you helping them?
The older one (a young teen) is doing ok, at least on the outside. The younger one is periodically sad and confused, and wishes for the family to stay together. He's also the one who wishes we can all live in the same house forever, so for him stability and permanency is very important.
They're not really acting out. At least as far as I can see.
I can't say I'm doing anything special to help them out. Just being steady. When asked about divorce, tell them the plain truth but stay general. I've always been present and involved, so I haven't changed all that much.
