What about the kids

Hi everyone


Have a question or 2 from my gf regarding her kids. She is still married, living with her husband and 3 children, girl - 10, boy - 15, boy - 16 or close to those ages anyway. (You would think I should know them heh?).


She is thinking seriously about leaving her husband but there are other lives this will effect and she is worried about them. first she doesn't know if the kids will come with her or not. Then should she tell them about us? She would be moving in with me. Do we leave town? How would all this affect them? Then the friends, workmates etc. There are so many questions - sorry.


If anyone has any insight into this could you let us know. We would be very keen to hear from you.


Thanks


Gal_countrylover and GF

Hey Gal!


There have been many discussions here about kids, as most of us have them, and I am sure people will be giving you some insight over the next few days. You may also want to scroll back thru some of the threads as it may help you get some answers.


For me; I divorced my husband when when my son was 13.

Thank you for your help and advice. No use inventing the wheel over again, when you can just ask someone whose gone through it before. I will pass it on to my gf, she is the one that has the younger children, my youngest is 18 and leaving home to move for work after christmas, so that will be the last. (and he is living with his

Good move. Last week this board was pretty much dead. All of a sudden, this week it takes off like crazy and I am having a hard time keeping up. Y'all's fingers and thoughts must be flying this week!

Thanks for your support and advise


We have decided that we don't want the other to give us space to work it all out, we just want to be together, but that will have to wait a while. We will just be part-time lovers until that can happen. The
