I split with my husband a year ago now and we've had our ups and downs and still will. I don't really know your circumstances, so it's hard for me to comment, but that motto is a good one and I feel the same.<br /><br />My youngest was 4 when we split and it's been hard for me to help her to understand at times but I'm just trying to make sure she knows she can talk about things. I try to be as honest as I can with her and we deal with each thing as it comes along. I'm sure you do the same.<br /><br />My eldest was 8 at the time and it was easier to talk things through with her. I also talked to her school who were very supportive. Some of the staff had had special training in helping kids deal with their parents separation and they were brilliant with her.<br /><br />I also picked up a couple of booklets from a local solicitors that were useful. The best one was one she could fill in herself. She has that somewhere so I'll ask her if she can find it so I can get the details for you if that will help.<br /><br />I still have the other and they advertise a website called www.itsnotyourfault.org There are a few tips there on helping your kids through it all.<br /><br />From the little bit I've read it sounds like you're doing all this anyway, but I just thought there might be other stuff in these booklets that might be useful. It's so hard to know where to turn isn't it?<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br />JoJo Beaufoixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957369658590225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722980241375072127.post-48510928490293533772010-02-25T21:30:27.051+00:002010-02-25T21:30:27.051+00:00There is a family support team near you that could...There is a family support team near you that could perhaps support you and the children if you are worried about them. <br />There is an award for you on my blog.

It will take time, but given the support you're offering them plus receiving from others I'm sure they'll come through just fine.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239525200765302921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722980241375072127.post-26759109973376315932010-02-25T09:16:17.015+00:002010-02-25T09:16:17.015+00:00I have no startling insights for you but just want...I have no startling insights for you but just wanted to say that i read you post and thought it was wonderfully honest and open. i hope you and they find some peace of heart soon.Not From Laplandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17165208811776097332noreply@blogger.com
