How to tell kids about break up

I have primary aged kids. Partner has just walked out yesterday, has been having an affair for a few months. Until affair started we had very close bonded family unit. Children are asking me where he is. Eldest is 11 and has been crying this morn because I don’t know what to say about where her dad is. I am totally blindsided by this and devastated myself so it is hard to deal. Seeing the effect it is having on my little children is heart breaking. How do I make it easy for them? How do you navigate co parenting with someone who has had an affair and lied to you and hurt you very badly?

So sorry you are going through this. You really need to tell your DC together, as they will have questions, particularly the 11 year old, some that only your partner can answer.
