DH and I have finally realised we need to move forward as co-parents rather than a married couple. It’s been coming for years and after unsuccessful counselling I’ve finally said enough. DH is gutted but understanding.
We’re looking at finances etc with a view to buy somewhere in the same town, and get an entry date before we tell DD10.
We’re living together still and no issues there other than a bit of awkwardness and strain.
Please can you tell me anything you think I need to do / be prepared for, or particularly that eased things for your DC? She’s autistic so while she’s academically smart, she struggles with routine change, and has a strong sense of injustice, so that’s an extra element to navigate! Thanks for reading.
