Yeah ... this was a tough one for me too. Give your kids some space and time to digest this. My oldest went to his room and closed his door. He didn\'t want to talk to anybody. My middle child cried and went to her room. Our youngest didn\'t really understand what was going on but could see that mom and dad were sad and that his siblings were upset. All in all, one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever had to do. Stay strong.
It\'s hard on the kids. Be sure and tell them that it is not their fault. Children often think that it was something they did or did not do to cause their parents to divorce.

Do what you can to be there for them when you see they need you, then go fall apart in another room. I know how bad it hurts.
Mike, I am here if you need to talk afterwards. You can call if you want.
Big Hugs,
