Hi all,
I have a few blogs up but I need help on this.
How do and what do I tell the children.
There are 4, 1 girl and 3 boys.
They are aged from 17 to 24.
They will obviously want to know why but even I do not know why? This is due to the fact that my wife will not communicate at all with me. She is still in the family home but all the kids will be home for Xmas.
I will be back in the country in 10 to 12 days so please can someone tell me what to do?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Tell them the truth as you see it. Explain that communication has broken down between you and your partner but you don't really understand how or why - then say that you are trying to understand why this is and hope to resolve things soon - one way or the other. Don't say ANYTHING negative about your partner or apportion blame and in the meantime make sure your kids know that you're enthusiastic about seeing all of them as soon as you can.
