Seperation affect kids? Will it be OK?
| Fri, 09-28-2007 - 8:27pm |
I posted on another message board but I have now concluded that our issues are far greater then what speculation can reveal. I want a separation. I think that it would be better to have space to sort through all that we are going through. There is too much anger and resentment from the past. We fight all the time!!! My concern is my children. We have 4 super kids, 2 daughters ages 15 and 17 and 2 young children, ages 2 and 4. I did watch the Oprah episode and am so afraid of scarring my children for life. Neither me nor my husband have divorced parents. I can't bear the thought of hurting my babies. I am here for them, not good enough reason I know. Can anyone tell me about their situations? Do I stay for the children and remain unhappily married (my H sleeps in another room and we dont talk) or do we separate in hopes that we can work through this? I would keep the children with me and may have to move out with them since H won't leave. What are your experiences? PLEASE PLEASE RESPOND!!

Le me ask you this.... do you think that having unhappy parents that sleep in separate rooms is NOT affecting your kids?
Although I was the one who told our children.... separetely, I did almost every other thing outlined on Oprah's show.... being supportive... listening to the kids, and assuring them they they'd still have both of us in their lives.
