Dh and I separated in August last year, and only now will me and the dc be moving out. We have divided our time separately amongst them since then, spending alternative weekends with them. Largely, they have accepted this, although dd has asked lots of questions about why we don't look after them together any more.
I am due to move out with them in the next two weeks. Lots of differing advice exists about what to tell them, and I really don't know how or what to say. Dh is vehemently opposed to the split, but has agreed to 'lie' for their sakes and say it is amicable.
The last ten months have been horrendous, and the kids will be happier, but I need some advice on what to say.
Dd is 6yo and ds is 3.5yo. They will spend alternative weekends with dh, and he is staying in the house.
Dd is the dramatic type.
