So, we have told the DC that we are not happy together anymore. DC not happy but, to be honest, they wont see alot of difference, as h works away in the week, leaving Sunday evening and returning late on a Friday.
Personally, I would rather I never set eyes on him again (affair with younger woman involved).
Main difference for the dc is that h is sleeping in DS's room until we can pull a finger out and permanently move the rooms around so h has a room of his own.
It is getting harder for me because I dont think it is right to tell dc (aged 5, 8 and 11) that their Dad was bonking another woman. But, they obviously dont understand what is wrong and think that I am being horrible to their Dad.
BTW we dont argue or pick at each other as I grew up in an awful relationship like that so dont want my dc to suffer in the same way.
So, what I want to know is, has anyone told their dc the whole story (bearing in mind the ages) or do you think it best to wait until they are older to tell them the truth?
I am getting alot of aggression from DS at the moment and ended up in tears today but feel frustrated because they dont know the whole story.
Any advice greatly appreciated
