I sat down and told my kids we are moving last night. That I am seperating from my husband. They didn't understand why. I guess I did a good job of not fighting in front of them andsheltering them from his drinking. All they were aware of was the problems with his daughter.
Anyway, they took it well. And are actually kinda excited about about it just being the 3 of us again. Their Dad knowswhat is going on and took them past my new car and the new house on the way to school this morning and he called and said they were really excited.
WHAT A RELIEF!!!
They are still in no hurry to get the house ready and close early on the house, so I am waiting to tell my husband until I have a date. He knows it is over, just wishing, but still drinking every day!
Thanks to all who have been there for me.

It is so wonderful that you are taking control of your life, what a fantastic opportunity for you & your kids to have the life you want & deserve.
I personally think the younger kids are, the better they can understand feelings when we talk to them about what's going on. Kids can feel their parent's feelings, they just don't know how to verbalize what's going on. I'm happy for you, you sound really strong & excited!

Good for you. It was so tough for me when I told my kids. I am glad things went well for you. I found if mine were allowed to do what they wanted (within reason) and see whomever they wanted to at the time, they were ok. It's not perfect, I understand, but my kids have certainly adapted and are as happy as they can be.
Love ya,
Maria
