Based on another thread so not sure it’s allowed but if your ex was violent to you did you tell your children and do you think they should know?

My ex wasn't violent. But was emotionally abusive. I think the bed to be as honest as you can for the children's age is important. But I get that certain circumstance that isn't possible
How old are your children.
Do they still se their father?

Would something along the line of daddy and mummy use to fight and argue. And that mad mummy sad. So it is better we do not live together in the and hour anymore.

Depends on age. School age - no.

I wouldn’t want to say we use to fight as that makes it sound like it was a two way thing I think? They are 10 and under, I didn’t think kids should know this stuff but according to the other thread most people were saying She was wrong not to tell her children sooner. And no they don’t see him, he is absent.

I told my ds little bits as he grew at 13 i had to tell him everything as he thought he didn't see his dad because we didn't get on. It was the right age.

I think it depends on the child. Some don't care - some really do.
