[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  No, he wants to do the vacation.  He has been clear about that.  I think we will do it.  It will be hard, but if we are going to coparent we need to learn how to do this.

He is being a selfish ass right now.  We also just found out his dad has cancer, but don't yet know the severity of it or any prognosis.  Great timing, asshole.  I don't even really recognize him anymore, the way he is acting.

For those of you who have separated with kids, what and how did you tell them?  [/quote]

Honestly, my kids were about the same age as yours and they sort of already knew something like this was going to happen.  Too much silence between husband and I and just not the same type of environment in their friends and our family's homes.  They also talked a lot with other kids at school whose parents were already separated/divorced, how was I to know they apparently didn't want to talk about that because it might happen to them.  Instinctive little creatures, most of them are.  We told them together, oldest told his father he hated him and ran out of the room in tears and the youngest just clung to her father until he left that evening.  I'm sorry you are faced with this OP, truly.   Btw, we too had a preplanned vacation later that year, paid for and all, but I didn't go, just couldn't, I let the children go with their father and have that time to try and stay connected to him on some level.  They came back in better shape than I thought they would but they still, two years later, talk about us getting back together even though we both dismiss this possibility whenever they bring it up.  Be prepared for that, it will happen sadly.  Prayers are with you, stay strong. :wink: [/quote]
