ILYBINILWY - OW - what to do next 3

[Treasur]

I agree with parkema. Tell them together partly so the kids see that and also because your H needs to carry the reality of his own choices. You will have plenty of time afterwards as it starts to sink in with the kids, because they will ask you questions. The advice here seems to be to keep it as simple as you can without going into mega-detail but to be truthful too in a way that is age appropriate.

I'm sorry. I can't imagine how hard it must be to know that you have to do this. But please remember - this is happening because of your H's choices and you are not to blame for it as their mum. Your job - and you're a great mum, so you can do this - is to be as big and strong an umbrella for them while the storm is raging xxx
