i have 2 kids, both are innocent and are not exposed to such things as divorce. the elder one is 6 and the younger one is only 4 years old. they've led a pretty much sheltered life upto now and i've always done all i could to protect them from things which could be too cruel for them to know but now i'm in a fix. could you please advise me on how to tell my kids that their mother wants to divorce me?

oh is it for sure that your wife wants to divorce you? don't tell the kids unless and until you're sure that your wife wants a divorce

Absolutely like black eyes is saying, its not time to inform the kids about it. Coz from what u r saying nothing is so sure about ur divorce. And also talking to ur kids, u and ur wife should do that, Not only u.

your kids are still small but we, children, are not stupid you know. we can see and feel what is going on between the parents. the tension, the anger and even the sadness.

I think you and your wife must first try your best to make your marriage work.

You and your wife have not yet decided so I think it's best to work on your marriage first and worry about telling the kids when and if the need arises.

If you don't want your children to be affected with this, it would be better if you hide the matter from them till they grow older to understand it, you can also move to another place and find some excuses not to let them doubt about it!

You seem to be a very protective father, it's good to protect them but you will have to show them the reality of life, it is not as safe and protected as it has always been inside their home. It is important let them face some difficult situations so that they become more clever and they would know how to deal with every problem which they will face in the future.
