I'm feeling elated at the moment, exh & I are separated and he's finally moving out on the weekend. There's been no ow/om but there's huge amounts of resentment & bad feeling. we have tried really hard to create an illusion for the kids, we don't argue in front of them although inevitably the sniding/eye rolling etc has spilled over. Plus we haven't slept in the same room for several years which they know (but haven't questioned??).
Does anyone have any advice on telling the kids/what to say/what not to say? Ds is 9 (eldest) and bound to cry, we are normally very emotionally attuned but I'm worried I won't feel empathetic as I'm feeling so elated at the moment.
I can't believe that this time next week I'll be free of this man child who I've really begun to hate, I just cannot wait to finally be free of him (well free of living with him) But for the kids it's going to be a change dad won't be sat on the sofa every night drinking and ignoring them oh ok he does take them to the cinema sometimes & he tells rubbish jokes & tickles them occasionally.
Has anyone been through this can give me some advice? Ty
