I’m going through the 1st few days without my kid and will pick up from school tomorrow for my time with them.

How did you approach talking to kids about how they are feeling about the separation, spending time away from me, new home with mother, and the divorce in general without “putting them in the middle” of everything?

I’d like to better understand my kid’s thought and emotions about the separation so that I can better support them, but also don’t want to lay blame on mom or make them feel uncomfortable. Not sure how best to handle this conversation tomorrow.
