Thanks Nai! I am guessing he won't have too many conscious memories (later on that is) of us living together so it may be easier on him at this age. Do you remember missing your Dad living with you? DH (exDH) and I plan to keep up the allotment we have as a 'family' activity and to have dinner altogether and other special occasions (for as long as is possible) so that he sees us together in a positive way. That is why we decided to separate. We cannot live together but are actually good friends. If we kept on the way we were going we would no longer have liked it other at all, so I hope we have chosen the best time for this although there is no good time...

Has anyone actually told a two year old themselves?
