[quote=Anonymous]Saying that kids dont need to know about adult relationships is a ridiculous and dated excuse intended to protect the person who blew up the marriage. If you value marriage and don't want your children to believe that it is normal and acceptable for a married couple to just divorce for no apparent reason, the worst thing you can do is keep your kid in the dark about why their entire world as they know it (kids are very self centered) is being torn apart. They need to know that you would only do this for a few very, very good reason because marriage is not something that you just do for a little while until you find someone better to okay with.

Unless of course you don't care what message you are sending your kids about marriage. These things DO impact them.  There are entire books and studies dedicated to it.  One good one is titled something aline the lines of The Truth about Kids and Divorce.

The key here is to tell them an age appropriate reason for the divorce in a way that doesn't sabotage their relationship with the other parent. And that is very challenging in emotiinalky charged situations... but it IS possible. [/quote]
