We told the kids... and drank wine...

Yesterday afternoon we sat down our three kids and told them that mom and dad are getting a divorce. It was the most difficult thing I have ever done. They cried and asked questions (we only told them it was grown up stuff and not their business why). We reassured them. We were friendly to each other. The kids seemed to handle it about as well as can be expected.


At dinner my husband asked if I wanted wine - we drank the first bottle then. Then we got the kids to bed and drank two more. I don't normally drink at all (and if I have any, it is one glass). I can't believe we drank 3 entire bottles (was left from a trip we took to Europe a few years ago)

That is a beatiful story. It brought tears to my eyes. I am grieving now for what, I don't know. Not for my ex, but for what my kids are going through. If you two continue on this path, your children and the both of you will be better and stronger for it. Good luck!

That was the greatest give you could have given yourselves AND your kids :-)
