How to tell DC that DH is leaving?

[seagulldown]

DH and I have separated, it is officially a trial separation. He will leave the family home at the beginning of November. Currently he is dividing his time between here, his parents and other family.

We have two DD (DD1 is 3.8 and DD2 is 1.8). The plan is for him to see the DDs for one evening a week and at some point over each weekend (yet to decide exactly how this will work).

The question is how or what to tell our older daughter? DDs are used to not seeing DH during the week as he is usually home from work after they are in bed, so so far we have been able to use his work as an excuse for when he isn't here. I am unsure how to approach this appropriately so any guidance and ideas would be most welcome.

I didnt want to leave your post unanswered.

I wouldn't say very much to the dc as they are very young. I would answer questions but not much else.

Take care. Hope it all works out for you.

Thank you for your reply. I was wondering if not saying anything would be the best approach. I'm sure that DD1 will question his new place but I think the novelty factor might be enough for her. I may post again if I have difficulty answering anything! Thanks again
