[quote=Anonymous]XH has been very sad about divorce and cries a lot when DS is with him. DS comes home with the same pitiful questions, obviously unsatisfied by my answers, asking them over and over. "Why aren't you together?" "Why don't you move to PA?" (where XH lives) "Why can't we all live together?" "Why can't you marry Daddy again?" This has been going on for 18 months, in case that's important perspective. I know questions are normal and the wish is typical. I try to keep tone light. "Your daddy and I fought a lot. That's not good. You shouldn't live with someone you fight with a lot. No one should." I try not to get into the specifics although I suspect XH is not being quite as careful. If I know DS is missing his dad, I say "I'm sorry you miss Daddy" and "I know you wish we were together." Are there better answers? Is there a way of helping DS more?[/quote]
