[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I told my kids about our divorce about a month ago, ages 9 & 11. I was terrified based on all the doom and gloom but tbh it really has been orders of magnitude better than I anticipated. It’s obviously still early days but just wanted to give a counter perspective. [/quote] Oh honey. A month is nothing. Being a child of divorce lasts a lifetime.[/quote] This. Tweens are the easiest age for divorce. They're old enough to sort of handle their emotions, better than little kids. They're able to sort of manage their belongings over two households. And they're not as aware as older teenagers, who might catch on about cheating or dating or understand that they're going to be adult children of divorce forever and it will be a hassle forever. So just give it some time, PP. Everyone catches on eventually.[/quote]
