thank you

How far along the separation path are you? The one thing to avoid is "daddy leaving" being too far in the future so he gets himself in a state. Some will argue that it would allow him to prepare himself but in reality he will just wind himself into a knot. Make clear plans that don't change with your husband before you mention anything to your son. Take care.

we are going to talk to his Dad sometime next week. and then i suppose he is going to look for house to rent but he doesn't work and no income, i don't know how he is going to able to rent anything. so because of that it might take bit of time.

What are his reasons for separating?
He can't support himself so what will he do?
Does he have family he could go to for a while?
Has he suggested some counselling from himself and together?
