Q: OK, so im newly single, and very glad that im divorced!! My ex is now going steady with another women, and we have childreen of the ages 5, 4, and 2. I was just wondering how to tell my kids that mammy and daddy dont love eachither any more, and daddy loves another women, that not mommy. I know i shouldn't no, i couldnt lie to them because i love them too much, but i dont want to see them hurt. They have started to ask questions, but ive tried to change the subject because i didnt know what to say. I love my kids dearly, but i want them to know the truth without being hurt.. I know that they will ask lots of questions, about divorce, because they are still too young to know what it means yet, so any back up advice would be greatly appreciated also..
thank you in advance,
Kelcie

oh, and if it helps my ex-husband and i have offically been divorced for 5 days, he moved out 2 days ago.. We got divorced because he was cheating on me, and it has taken 2 months to get all the papers sorted out.
Well my mum and dad got divorced when I was about 1 year..so I don't remember her telling me anything...but if I had to hear stuff I'd like to hear something like "we're no longer together because of some different reasons. When you get older you'll understand...all you have to know now is that dad and mom love you the same as normal...we just won't be together all the time. But don't worry...we love you the same way"

sorry it took so long for me to reply.. but thank you !!
