Agree. [/quote]

But have some answers ready, because the kid will figure it out in the next few years and say something to one or both of you. 
Signed,
Adult child of divorce [/quote]

OP here—what kind of truth is age appropriate in the near future?  I am gathering from the 10 years recommendation that laying bare the entire truth would be detrimental and completely inappropriate.  When DC figures things out and starts asking questions, what will be the  appropriate response?  Something vague about the complexity of adult relationships? [/quote]

Only you can answer that. How do you usually answer their questions? When they ask about the birds and bees, about why you don’t like your neighbors, about the Holocaust? Are you the direct and open type of mom, or the hedgy passive aggressive type of communicator? They will expect your usual style of communication and anything else will seem inauthentic. [/quote]
