Tough Question
I have been away from my XAH for over a year now. He was living with another woman and her kids, long story in between, now he is basically homeless. He is being sentenced on February 7th for jail time stemming from a DUI and numerous bail jumps relating to a no contact order with this other woman. He will be going to jail for 6 months.
I am struggling whether or not to tell our 8 year old where her dad is going to be for those 6 months. My mind tells me that yes, she needs to know. My heart tells me no, as she us uber sensitive and I think it would break her heart. Please keep in mind, in NO WAY am I trying to protect HIM if I don't tell her......it would be about protecting her. She is such a sweet girl, and remarkably well adjusted, smart, etc. But extremely sensitive.
Any input?
