Helping the children

Separation has been a few months, no cheating.

DC have been ok up until recently DD asking why a lot and if we can be together again. She called in tears during the week.

It’s really hard. I feel terribly guilty but I know my feelings won’t change so there isn’t a way back for the relationship.

I have said she’s still loved etc the separation is a grown up problem, nothing to do with them. Still struggling to find the words to explain and comfort.

How old are your kids? What have you told them about the split so far?

Just as above I read they don’t need to the reason as such. It’s hard I know in my heart the decision is right but I just miss them so much when they are not with me and I know their DF does too. Hate seeing them sad because of me. Selfishly worry they will resent me, prefer him. I totally see why people stay for the children I wish I had the strength for that. I couldn’t do it he wasn’t a horrible person it just wasn’t right anymore and I felt like I was suffocating and it would have been unfair to both of us to pretend.
