that we were splitting. She's 11 and kind of already suspected.

Hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. Nothing compares.

She said 'That must have taken a lot of courage to tell me that, mum'...

She was upset of course, sad... but ok. Reassured her that we'll just be doing things a little differently but that we both still love them and that nothing will ever change that.

One down, two to go.

sorry hon, thats a tough one to do. Hang in there xxx

Really sorry to hear that.

Good luck and hope all goes well for you in 2008.

Oh you poor thing, that cant have been easy at all ((hugs)) what a mature, supportive Daughter you have.

Best Wishes. xxx

Yes, she's gorgeous.

Took it so well... had been wondering anyway... it's just the other two... 8 and 5.


Christ. I think I prefer dying to this.

your daughter sounds lovely, and obviously you made a good job of it for her to react like that so well done!

Aw, bless her

You will all come through this honey, stay strong ((((((Hugs))))))

What a star, she sounds like a proper gem. At least you know now that the other two can rely on her for support, and if she's responded like that then there's a fair chance the other two might be alright as well?
Wishing you all the best for it, I know it's really rough for you.

Sorry to hear that Tiddlypom, a friend of mine has had to tell her daughter the same thing recently. Kind of stuck for words but I hope all goes well with the other two. Take care.


Debbie

Oh bless her, good luck with telling the other 2.

Hope your feeling ok

Donna.

Hey A. Theres not really alot I can say to you at this point that will make you feel any better and I ain't gonna come at you with empty cliches, its a sh*tty thing to have to do, no doubt about it.
Your daughter sounds like a lovely young lady, you have raised her well, take encouragement from her reaction, because the younger ones will probably look to her for guidance.

I hope they'll be ok.
I'm worried about the little one more I think.... male and vulnerable etc...

OH and I are totally agreed that we're singing from the same hymn sheeet on this...
I wasn't going to tell eldest on her own but actually it just worked like that as she wandered into my room at 6.30am and we lay in bed chatting.
Her reaction is good...she's actually ok.

I'm amazed.

hang in there hon, you're a great Mum
S xx

And just to prove that whilst you're dealing with the shitty stuff, along comes something else...

Headlice!

Gotta find the humour ...

Well at least there won't be any battle over who gets to keep them!
