Name changed. Have previously posted about recent discovery of Husband affair with very close friend of mine. He has left and is happy in his love bubble alternate reality built for himself. When he left we told daughter mum and dad have to live apart now, but still both love you.
As he is determined to continue this new relationship, we now have to tell daughter a lot more, as she will in class with OW's child come September. It is a small community and people know what has been going on, and 2 families separating because of it.
He wanted to go with, m and d already decided not to live together and now I am going to be seeing OW, who she knows very well.
I think think will leave daughter mistrusting us as it is not what she will hear from school, and I do not know what other child is being told.
Have discussed with H the words to tell her more the truth, daddy in love with other person, not what u should do when your married, and he is therefore leaving me to have this relationship.
Nightmare situation, as last thing daughter needs as is still coming to terms with separation news 3 weeks ago, but feel to send her into school without facts could be more damaging.
Advice, magic wands?
