Thanks Rachel, i think most of this is my emotions really And me feeling sorry for the kids thats it. They are handling things well and know they can speak to me and they do. I would suggest telling your kids, maybe something along the lines of, mummy and daddy dont get along very well and not living together at the moment. I actually feel a relief now that we have told them, it means i can stop lying to them, avoiding the truth. Things are simpler this way in terms of my relationship with them.
