Question by Michelle: How do I talk to my children about divorce?
I am a mother of two boys, four and five. My husband is a cocaine user for many years and keeps promising he will never use again. After 18 years, I am throwing in the towel. I have been with him since I’m eighteen, not the best choice. I am mostly concerned about are children who love him to death. What do I say? Has anyone been through this and can offer some advice?

Go with Divorce Mediation Services. Through this you can safety the children to not undergo the experience of testifying and going to court and seeing their parents fight over them for custody. In Divorce Mediation professionals go in between to help you and your partner come into an agreement in ending this marriage. Through this less fight and the ambiance is not that harsh compare to ending your marriage on court. Here’s a site about Divorce Mediation: http://www.liaisesolutions.com/services/divorce-mediation/

As for your children just take it one step at a time. First ask them “what if” mom and dad won’t live together anymore. Be strong.
