Per our child psychologist - the goal of every parent is to reassure the kids that they are loved by both parents

and stress what parts of their lives will Not differ, while admitting some parts will be different.

In other words, are they going to live in the same area, stay in the house for the next year or so, attend the same school or see their same friends/extended family?

Stress ^^that.

As for what will change, tell them how it'll be dealt with. "Mom will be here but I'll have my own place you will visit and I will be here every Wednesday night and ..."

per my psychologist the details the kids want, need explaining. (Age dependent). Don't be vague about things if the kids ask,

and of course, keep your word.

((( )))





PS

and that none of this is the kids' fault!!
