Many of the couples are are still together its because of their children. But they always argument and have no love each other, they still together for the sake of the kids. Many parents its hard to explain to their children they have planning to divorce or separate.

Are you together for the children? The first thing you have to remember is that you had better be certain that the two of you are really planning to separate before you say anything to the kids. The minute the words are out of your mouth, you can't change it even if you do change your mind later one. The kids are going to be affected. They are your first priority, and there is no easy way to tell them what is happening. Kids are sometimes scarred by what is happening and if they are pre-teens they know even less and fear even more and are confused. They might not even realize at first what you are talking about, but when they hear mommy and daddy are not going to be together anymore, their world falls apart. It happened to me and to my kids. The matter was resolved when all of us had counseling for several months.

I am a child of a divorce I was a baby when my mom and dad divorced so I can't really give any advice because I was never told myself til my teen years why my parents divorced. My dad was an bad driner he is not no longer but he was when my parents we're together. I guess depending on the age just sit them down and explain to them mommy and daddy will always love them but they have problems and are going to be getting a divorce or seperating. It will be hard on them but eventually they will have to get use to it.
