Telling the children

XH and I decided to separate a few months ago but are stuck for at least a year (I am retraining so can’t get a mortgage). We were fudging the bedroom thing, which has been easy as it’s always been musical beds here. Now i have asked him to move to the basement (yes it is a real room!) which means telling them. Any tips on how to handle things when there is going to be such a long gap between telling them and me moving out?

How old are they?

Between 7 and 16, so its tricky on that front as well

Kids are extremely observant even if they don't say anything to let you believe that.

I would tell each of them in an age appropriate way the honest truth. Then they can't make anything more worrying up in their heads
