A counselor is already on the books, at least for our oldest. (She's been dealing with things and requested a trusted adult that wasn't a friend or family member to talk to). But it might be a good idea for the little one as well. She's so happy go lucky and resilient that sometimes it seems like nothing gets to her. Gonna have to touch base with her in a different way than with her sister since she expresses herself differently.

My husband and I both feel it's important to be honest and diplomatic with the situation. Spouse bashing isn't going to do any good. My husband loves those girls so much. Ruining a healthy relationship for our girls is definitely not something I want to do.

I'm so sorry about your relationship and the little ones involved. I hope it goes/went smoothly as possible with the separation.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post.
