[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If these kids were 7 or 8 I'd have a different answer, but at 10 and 13, you can tell them the truth. If you say, "Mom has a boyfriend and didn't want to be married any longer". I actually think, "Mom cheated on me" is fine. Better to speak the frank truth once, and then focus on being calm and not venting to them in the future. It's always the guilty party that thinks the children shouldn't know the truth[/quote] Agreed, this is what I’d say. You don’t need to be “mommy has a boyfriend…, I’d just be frank, honest and non-emotional. Just state the facts. They’re old enough [/quote]. I agree with this approach as someone whose parents divorced at age 12 due to dad cheating. I knew my dad was trestand it honestly made mead that they lied. I get that they were trying to protect me but their dishonesty made it worse. So I think somethingike pp suggested is fine. And you don't have to get into details or bashing Sorry.op[/quote]
