Separating from hubby after 25 years together

2 replies

So I'm currently going through separating from my husband after 25 years together. We have 4 kids together and the issue is the youngest 2 who are 10 & 14 want to live with his mum, he's happy to let this happen but I'm not. They don't want to be in the house just now and I really don't blame them!! It hurts so much that he's got the attitude that it's not our descion to make. At 10 & 14 I don't feel they are old enough to make this choice. Yes I want them to be happy however I don't want to lose them. Older 2 are 20 & 23, 20 year old is laid back and will go between us and the oldest no longer lives at home. Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks in advance x

No it really isnt their decision to make. Children do not get to make adult decisions. What a bloody idiot he is to think this is ok. He is probably promoting it so he doesn’t have to pay you CM.

I’d ring a solicitor for advice. Do not agree with this.

I'm not agreeing at all and can't believe he will, his attitude is if the kids are happy why change things!! It's an amicable separation, he has no feelings for me anymore, already seeing someone else, least said about that the better!! It's killing me that the kids feel that way, I feel a big enough of a failure as a woman and that killed the last wee bit of strength I had left in me xx
