I guess we did things a little different cause me and my Boy's moved out (up to my parents)- about 8weeks ago now. My 2year old seemed ok...I don't think he is old enough to understand anyway...though he did challenge me at sleep times until we got into new routines.

My almost 4year old (will be 4 in May) I explained we wouldn't be living with Daddy but they will still get to see daddy on the weekends. A few weeks ago they both had a moment where they both cried wanting to see daddy...it broke my heart. I tried to explain they'd see him on that weekend but it took a little to calm them both. Yesterday I had some sad moments again (well have them most days the last few weeks but was a little more yesterday). DS1 told me not to be sad...gave me cuddles and told me to be happy...to which i told him i just love them both so much. He later asked if i liked living here- just as I had asked him a few times lately. I said yes...does he- he replied yes...we all so happy.

I think it will get easier as the new situation settles in. We call daddy every few days and i still talk about him with the Boy's and they have fun with daddy on his weekends.

I think it makes it easier to do at their young age....its why we made the call now...so they can adjust.

I'm sure you'll have challenging moments but it won't be for ever (I hope...for you and me and everyone else going through it).
