[quote=Anonymous]The work excuse seems bad. What if OP works and yet spends time with her kids. The kids will make that connection. A family therapist would be best to work through this situation. I am of the camp of "daddy is taking care of some health issues that adults deal with but he loves you very much". Kids need the security of knowing both parents love them and his absence isn't due to them. One lie leads to another and another. You just need to know what age is appropriate to tell certain details to your kids. As for the ludicrous comment above, I would say exactly that to my 4 yr old if an affair was involved as 1)the 4 yr old wont even know what you're talking about and 2) let the cheating dad explain why mommy is crying, which will be a lie and that lie will be on HIM and not ME. But that's not what this OP is even speaking of and that situation is way different than someone who is mentally ill [/quote]
