Telling your kids you and your spouse are divorcing may be the toughest thing you will ever do in your life. Even if the announcement wasn't a huge surprise -- perhaps you're already separated or you've been arguing constantly -- it's only natural for children to want their parents and their family to stay together. Having their dreams dashed is tough. Their lives will change as they know it and they will be dealing with the new reality of two separate houses and not seeing Mom and Dad at the same time anymore. It’s a very emotional time. Having an idea of what to expect will help. Below is a link to a helpful list of resources to help your child understand what is to come and to help them cope with the changes.
