My husband and I decided on getting a divorce. But we have not told our kids about it. I know that they have an idea that their mom and dad is getting a divorce but has not talked them.
Now, what do I tell my kids? How will I tell them? I read an article on explaining divorce to your kids but it seems that it is not enough. Are there any good articles you can share? Or some tips from people who have undergone the same situation?

Any advice is appreciated.

I would make sure you let them know it is not their fault and you both still love them. Make sure you do not talk bad about the other parent in front of the kids. How old are they?

If they are older honesty is the best way to go!
