What to tell my boys.

I'm sorry if I'm over-posting but this forum is really my safe place right now.

I'm packing up everything I'll need and the kids and I are going to stay w/my parents until I find a place. My kindergartner finishes up his school year in June. That gives me three months to solidify plans (I'll find out whether I got new job, which would mean me getting a place around here or not). I know it will be an adjustment for them, and it will feel sudden. They are 2 and 6, so I don't want to give too much information. Should I tell my 6-year-old that daddy is sick?

Also, I know in a week or two, AH is going to sober up and act like a normal human being again. He'll want to see the kids. When he's not drinking, you wouldn't guess he had a problem. I don't want the kids to NEVER see him, but there is no way in hell they're seeing him anytime soon. I am thinking of going N/C for at least a month while I get my head together. Any advice for the transition?
