A good book about the best ways to talk to a 6 year old boy about divorce and such related topics?
My XH and I have been divorced for three years and have a 6 yo DS.
Recently DS has started asking a lot of questions about why Mummy and Daddy don't live together, why Daddy doesn't like Grandma (my Mum) and other awkward questions.
I want to answer him as honestly as I can but I realise at the age he is he will not be able to fully comprehend some of it and I don't want to confuse or upset him.
Also, XH is an arse and will regularly say inappropriate comments to DS and then I am left to give all the answers.
Any book or website recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks.
