Firstly, unless you are authentic then overall you will one credibility.
Kids know more than you think and I believe it is disingenuous to be covert and secret.
Does that mean you have to be brutal and tell kids more than they need to know? Absolutely not.
Children even D18 needs certainty that there are no secrets. In this I am in agreement no absolutes. However you have been served, you are unsure of the future, these are facts. Wen you can advise when you know then you can give information as you know and it is appropriate.
Think of the questions your kids will ask you, can I still go to my school? Can I live with you, mum or ........
When I you will know, when can you tell me? Does dad want this, does Mum?
These will be unique to each child.
And I agree with Joseph keep on truckin'.
I also believe you can talk to whomever you want about this as you want. As you need, and the stance is "I will not lie about this or about the reasons". That isn't good for me.
