Can anyone recommend...?

A good book about the best ways to talk to a 6 year old boy about divorce and such related topics?

My XH and I have been divorced for three years and have a 6 yo DS. Recently DS has started asking a lot of questions about why Mummy and Daddy don't live together, why Daddy doesn't like Grandma (my Mum) and other awkward questions.

I want to answer him as honestly as I can but I realise at the age he is he will not be able to fully comprehend some of it and I don't want to confuse or upset him.

Also, XH is an arse and will regularly say inappropriate comments to DS and then I am left to give all the answers.

Any book or website recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hmm - I can't recommend any particular book but it may be worth going to the library and checking out their kids section. There's bound to be something appropriate int here..

I once found a book in Oxfam which was just about this subject - it was all cartoons about dinosaurs ! It was American.

Thanks, I think I'll do that at the weekend
