Do I tell our 6 year old son where splitting up?

[Jackjack123]

I’m just looking for some advice, me and my partner of 7 years are separating, we have a 6 year old son who is very close to his daddy, I don’t know how to tell him or what to say, the thought of breaking his little heart is tearing me apart, I just want to do this as easy as possible

Well he's going to notice eventually isn't he!

Presumi bc everything is arranged ie who is leaving, when, where to and when he will see each of you I think honesty is the best policy when it come to telling the kids.

You should tell him now in terms that he can understand and will reassure him that both parents still love him, just they don't love each other anymore.

I'd also let his school know so they can support him. You won't be the first or the last parents to split up, and it honestly makes a huge difference if the school know.

If you don't know yet what all the arrangements are you should work them out PDQ to make sure you're doing the best by your son.

If this is just the beginnings and you haven't told your partner then obvs don't tell your son yet!
