[quote=Anonymous]OP, read the sandcastles book on divorce. Also, I would be careful about saying "daddy is sick" - don't freak them out too much. i.e. fear he's going todie or something. I think I would say, "I know you miss daddy. He misses you too. I'm sure he will visit just as soon as he can. He's not feeling good right now. But as soon as he feels better I really want him to visit us. Let's send him a letter/draw him a picture/send him an email with a video and some pictures of you attached". Although I am not very fond of my ex I always speak of him enthusiastically and almost as if I miss him/am looking forward to seeing him too. I decided to act like he's a member of my family - like a cousin or something. I'm not romantically interested and I wouldn't leave him alone in a room with my purse, but he's a blood relative and hey, we all have to tolerate some baggage with our relatives, right? Very sorry for the situation you and your kids are in. [/quote]
