Any advice on how to tell kids we are divorcing or just as much what not to say? They are 11, 16,18. At the moment we are still living together. He wants to tell them we have just grown apart. But what do we say when they ask why we can't work it out. He doesn't want any kind of counseling to try to make it work and emotionally checked out a long time ago. According to him it's my fault as I 'started' all this. He says we were fine as we were, which means things were fine for him. He also has someone waiting in the wings as it were.
On the surface we have been pretty amicable, but underneath I feel pretty broken up. How do I stop this coming through? I would like us to have a cordial relationship in the future, but at the moment I can easily see why that doesn't happen.
