I've separated and planning divorce probably next year, stbxh moved out in Feb.
3 kids handled everything really well and have coped brilliantly.
My oldest DD who is 8 has alot of questions of 'but why' I want to take her out tomo just the 2 of us and try and explain about relationships in a way that she will understand but also age appropriate.
Any ideas?
The 2 younger ones are fine with our initial explanation which was that mummy and daddy had a few peoblems between ourselves and we decided we would work the best and be the best parents if we had 2 homes.
The younger 2 don't understand about relationships, however my 8 year old is more aware and probably more aware than I had thought.
