[quote=Anonymous]It is still surreal to them and, depending on the age of your kids, it is still a very abstract concept. How old are the kids? Are you truly divorced or beginning/announcing the separation/living apart stage? Big difference. Are you and spouse civil to each other? Keeping the kids on same normal routine (Mom picks up Kid A from school like normal, Dad is driving Kid B to basketball practice)? It takes time for the new normal to set in and realizing the change in family dynamics. If spouse was never around to begin with, than announcing divorce/separation won't faze the kids, as much, since the one parent was never in the picture to begin with. Good luck. Hugs to the kids. Perhaps they don't know how to express themselves or find the right words for their emotions. Keep communication opened. Empathy too. [/quote]
