[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's bad at all, as long as it's not performative crying to manipulate your kid into being your therapist or support system. It's okay for kids to see you experience and handle sadness. And since it is likely that your kid will also be sad about the split, I think it is helpful to be open about how you are feeling too. So many parents gaslight kids about their upset over divorce. For many kids, it would be validating and comforting to know their parent is also suffering and to get some emotion coaching about how to handle sadness and grief.[/quote]
