coping with new family
I am in the middle of a devorice and it has been very hard. Both my kids don't know why daddy is leaving and I don't know how to tell them. I have this new boyfriend named marius and I love him alot. I let him move into my place and my kids are freaking out. They don't like him because he is not dad. I want to marry him soon. Could someone help me explain to my kids its going to be alright?

Hi Jenifer,
It looks like this forum is pretty inactive but I will share my experience and ask you some questions.
I am also in the middle of a divorce and have been separated for 2 months.
I left my husband for my boyfriend, and I am living with my bf now. We are expecting a baby in late Sept/early Oct.
My husband and I have 2 kids, a girl (8) and a boy (6). The kids are still at home with their daddy.
I had to tell my kids that mom and dad can't live together anymore because mom has a new man. Both of my kids are sad to see this happen, as you might expect, but reality is starting to sink in. They visited me last weekend at my boyfriend's house. My son and my boyfriend get along well, but I still think my son thinks that it is temporary and that I might come back. My daughter has been quiet and has had little to do with my boyfriend. This makes me sad, but it is what it is. My husband and I have started them into family counseling to deal with this.
I am waiting until the shock wears off to give them the news that my bf and I are having a baby.
I don't know that anything can convince your kids that things will be all right, except with time and with family counseling. This has been my experience so far, but I am very new to it as well.
How old are your kids? Why is their daddy leaving anyway? Does your boyfriend get along with the kids at all, and does he pay much attention?
Good luck and hang in there,
Cyn
