Thanks everyone! He has a caravan now and should be moving out soon. I look at my little boy sometimes and just think that he has no idea his whole world is about to turn upside down but then I console myself with the fact that at least he is not losing his daddy completely and he is actually going to see a lot of him. It is going to be hard but it is for the best in the end. I don't want him growing up thinking our dysfunctional relationship is normal and to go through the heartache of seeing his parents destroy each other.
My sister left her husband and kids in October last year, the boys were almost 3 and 2. Because there was no warning, the boys weren't prepared, and nothing was said. They've just accepted that they only see Mummy on the weekends. The only thing I've noticed is that they've gotten a little bit clingier with us, whoever their favourite for the day is can't leave the room or they'll cry or ask where we're going, but on the whole they've dealt with it very well.
