[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let him explain it to the kid?[/quote] (Bitter laugh) He couldn't even explain it to ME. I had to drag it out of him based on mounting evidence. And then he admitted and then said he was moving out. I don't think he really gives AF about anyone's feelings right now but I'm not going to do this heavy lifting for him.  He's not capable of being honest and if he were to tell dc on his own he would not be truthful about this being a unilateral decision and not a conscious uncoupling (insert vomit emoji...)[/quote]

I have lived this.  You as mom must share the narrative from your view and not let dad act like an innocent victim or to lie.  I moved out and spoke w almost adult son before hand so he had a heads up.  I did it while we were out not over the phone though.  Not telling you what to do. [/quote]

PP again. When I spoke w son I stated the facts without adding anything to it including emotion.   I didn’t use judgments etc. DS is seemingly fine.   My parents divorced my freshman year and why was never discussed. [/quote]
