What to say?

[kelownagirl]

Without getting into specifics, my husband and I will sit down with our three boys (15, 13, & 10) Monday night and tell them that we are divorcing. Definitely not an exciting conversation to look forward to through the weekend. We will both visit the schools Monday (HS, Middle & Elem) and give the appropriate individuals (teachers and/or counselors) the heads up to our conversation.

Anyone else go through this?

Yeah. 3 1/2 years ago. My son was 7. He took it pretty well at the time. Had more trouble with it on and off as time went by. My older daughters were 18 and 20. The oldest had the hardest time.

I'm sure you know all the things you need to say - about how it's nothing to do with them and that you both love them etc etc. You need to keep repeating that for weeks after though. And try hard not to trash each other in front of the kids, even the older ones, ever.
