They're off into NSW somewhere ... They'll have a ball.

Lawyer is very nice. My lady referred me to him and he's even given me his home number in case of emergency.
Expensive but worth it. Very reassuring.

Gosh. Just caught up with all this. Thinking of you. xxx

Well TP,what a good mum you arejust read through,wish you good luck for the future.You handled the situation fantasticaly.Your children have reacted in a way that you must be so proud of them.It shows how they have been brought up.You can step forward now and start rebuilding your life.Its terrific you have a good school that will unstand and be supportive,and that you both are going to work together to make sure the kids are fine.
When you have a wobbly time you willbe ableto pull together, with love and understanding.


Lots ofand hugs,but I think you should charge the headlice rent,pesky little b*****s.What timing.Not subtle are they.

No, especially when they drop out of your eldest's hair onto the breakfast table.....

You are facing the situation with great courage and good sense, what a tough one, my heart goes out to you.

Thanks Sally.

Feeling so much better now I'm over this huge hurdle.

Great to hear the kids took it so well. Kids can be a lot more 'grown up' than us grown ups at times

For sure.

(((HUGS))) for you hun.....your daughter sounds great and will be ok......

Went through something similar few years back with a 9 and 7 year old....if I can be of any help pm me.....

take care

Ems x

Thanks Ems. I think for now, we're done ... the 'telling' was the worst. I can deal with the rest. They're the most important people in my life so I had to get it right for them. Hopefully nothing's going to be as bad as today.
(she says optimistically)

I've just treated my two and realised I have them myself

It must be awful to have to tell your kids you are splitting but as long as they know you both love them they'll be ok.

(((((HUGS)))))) for you x

Your daughter sounds such a wonderful person, just like you

You're an inspiration to us , all the best to you .x

EEEK!

I bet they are more worried about the lice than the split!

Congratualtions - if that is the right word - on breaking the news. It is done now and everyone is in the picture. You can start making plans and including the kids in the process. I should imagine that being excluded from what was going on was worse for them than the split itself. (Not saying they should have been involved in the split - just that they would feel powerless to help.)

Sending you good wishes and a big hug. (((())))

We checked out the head lice under a microscope thing that has 200x lens. Man, that was fun.




Yeah, it's good we're all up to date now. It's a good place to be.

It's taken long enough to get here, but I can only focus on our great future for now, and hope that the lawyer isn't too expensive and that we can do this by arbitration nicely.

Good luck with the divorce process. I read your other thread and feel for you. Stay strong and keep trying to take the amicable route. Having said that, if your OH won't co-operate, your lawyer will be worth every penny.
