No! That's the wrong thing to do and we're all damned for having associated ourselves with you! (Just kidding)

Everyone's situation is different, and only you know how to be the best parent for your kids.

Depending upon how old they are, I suppose it's okay for you to tell them the divorce was your exW's idea as long as you also told them that you are equally responsible for the breakdown of the marriage and own your part in how things got to this point.

It's all rearview mirror though for you and I, and we're both "just guys on the Internets" so what do I know?
