Separation: Did Any Kids Take It In Their Stride?

[RainbowRiver]

I have no experience, but maybe at the moment it seems a bit like an adventure and she is excited at the prospect of two houses? I would imagine it will become more real once the move has actually taken place

This is what I was going to post too!

My kids (well DD's) thought it was great fun having two homes... Until the novelty wore off. 2 years on, all 3 struggle with the concept of going between homes. We have a few problems we are still working out. They at least now understand Xdh and I will never be back together and both are remarrying new partners.

I hope for you it stays that way

My boys are better some days that others.
My 7yo (was 6 at the time) had some issues at the beginning due to the way FWXH mishandled it, and to some degree continues to.
His school has an excellent group counselling program for kids with family stuff going on, and we found that to be amazing for him over the past year.
My 3yo doesnt really get it as much, and TBH, things werent so good before, so its probably a far better situation than what he had before.

Their dads partner has just moved in. She seems nice and they seem to like her, but its thrown out both of their behaviour while they get used to it.
