so oh went to pieces today. We had agreed to tell children in an age appropriate way today. All prepared and just before I called them in, he went to pieces begging me not to tell them. I wasn't expecting it. And please don't judge .... Tbh I expected him to take the lead since it was his doing.

questions now he's asking

1. do they need to know (something)

2. when is time right

3. what to say.

I feel like I'm going round it circles, I thought I was prepared, sorry if I'm boring anyone with the same kinda posts! I wish this thing came with a manual :(

Jayjay,

Don't be sorry, it's hard to know what's the best thing to do in these situations, makes you feel helpless and alone. A manual would the great!

i hope you get the information you need from children heard. Look after yourself xx

I'm not sure how old your children are mine are 5 and 2 months I won't be telling my 5 year old proberly untill she has children . But I'm the same in some aspects people I would want to tell for support ect but partners says no. He's gone to the extent to cut his family off with no reason he sed he wud prefer to never talk again that to say the truth xx

Hi all - I feel so very sad for you ladies on this journey with the stresses of caring for your children, it's hard enough in normal circumstances.

nothing to offer just a big hug.....
