Tonight We Tell
Find a Conversation

Tonight we tell our 8 yr old dd that we are separating. Today I went to the complex where housing is based on income. It isn't that bad. I am going everywhere putting in applications but no calls. I am hitting the burger joints at the end of the month. I already would have gone to them but I have an Eating Disorder and I'm afraid it will worsen working around food. But I have to do something. I recently received my Nursing Assistant Certificate and can take the Certification exam within the next 120 days. I can still get a job without having the certification immediately and that's how I can come up with the $95 for the test.
I am so worried about my child though. She is so fragile emotionally speaking. She is seeing a psychologist already for other issues but really I think it's because she has felt the tension in the house.
Please tell me what happened when you told. How you told and how long before they become ok.

That is such encouraging news. We plan for our lives to be just like that and even do family vacations together. (My family adores the STBX). He is a good man and I still love him but I have changed and the pieces of our lives no longer fit together. He is trying very hard for this to go smoothly and so am I. Thank you for your words of encouragement!

How did it go?
I think that if you and STBX are on the same page about what your daughter is going through, it will make it much easier.

I hope things went well with telling your daughter.

Always keep the child out of the middle.
It's okay to jump...you have wings!
To move forward...you have to stop looking back.
