I want to explain to my 15 year old why her dad flew hundreds of miles away without even a phone call to tell her he was leaving. She's devastated
I'm trying to stay strong for them while not allowing myself to panic about how I'm going to pay all that needs paid (college tuition, braces etc) on my salary alone for at least the next few months
Appreciate any thoughts on how to help my 3 girls (they're 12, 15 and 19) through this. Thanks!
Big (hugs) to you VelmaMae. He left so quick it must be a shock to you, and will be to your kids too. But the happiest news is hes getting help and maybe you can somehow use this positive to help ease the confusion for your kids. Its awesome his employer helped him! My husbands employer provided "encouragement" and support for him to enter rehab too. I will pray its a good one and he will get the help he needs to recover.
