Well I think I'll start by asking if anyone is nervous about dad coming home. I'm sure I'll get some yes's, so I'll ask them why and address those concerns. I will make sure to tell them all that I love them and that they have the right to feel safe in their own house. I'll tell them if they DON'T feel safe, I want them to come talk to me about it right away. I'll make sure to tell them that they won't be "telling on dad" if they come to me with a concern and that we all need to be sensitive to each others emotions because it might be a little uncomfortable at first.
I guess I'll start with that and see how the conversation goes from there.
