[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking as a child of divorce, you need to tell your children gently but truthfully why their family is ending. Hiding the truth only leaves room for kids to blame themselves, and they will. The advice not to tell kids is from an adult perspective seeking to avoid shame and difficult discussions.[/quote] This. If they don't know, and you're still with that person or they know that person in their community, they'll still perceive that something is weird and wrong and lurking below the surface. It was a big relief to me to find out and have the awkwardness be for a real reason. But I will always wonder if I actually know everything, since my parent is not truthful and cannot be trusted.[/quote]
