Hey everyone,
Just an update....
Taking baby steps and one day at a time. The matimonial home is officially on the market as of yesterday! We had our fist showing tonight and another one booked for Sunday.
I am keeping my fingers and other parts crossed that this process goes quickly and smoothly.
On another note, now that the kids are finished school, we (STBX and I) have decided that this weekend we will tell the kids about the separation. Again, kids are 5 and 10, anyone have any tips to offer on how to break it to them gently....I can't just say "Mom does not love dad anymore" they don't need those messy details.
They will of course know for sure that mom and dad love them both more than anything, and we will answer all their questions as best we can, I'm just worried on what to say if they ask "WHY", I don't want to lie to them but at the same time, like I said they don't need to know the messy details. Not sure STBX would agree to something like "Mom and Dad are just not getting along" cause after all as he puts it...."This was my idea, I wanted this separation"......
I'm guessing I'm gonna be the bad guy here!!!
