[quote=Anonymous]Thank you pps for the advice. DH and I talked to all the kids yesterday. Just saying that Uncle J had made bad decisions and had hurt my friend. Friend was living with us right now because he can't live with uncle J. That because of his bad choices we wouldn't be able to see J anymore . We told them it was ok to feel confused, sad, angry, and even to miss J. We told them that friend uncle is very sad right now and they shouldn't talk to him about J and should do their best to be nice to him. To talk to us if they had any questions. I think it was harder on us as parents than us as kids. 11 year old was upset we didn't " tell the truth from the start" Not sure how much the 7 year old comprehended. 9 year old still doesn't want to believe that J was" mean" to friend uncle.
