Still haven’t told our almost 10 year old. We’re still living together. I’m ready to move out. How did you make it easier, assuming you’re over the initial shock? I’m going to buy a lot of new stuff for my new place, will including him help? I’m genuinely excited for some of the new furniture and stuff. I don’t know. The kids mental aspect is what I struggle with most about the whole thing. I was so destroyed when my parents divorced and I’m scared of losing the gentle carefree innocent child.
