It's good that you are honest with girls, in that way you justify their concerns and feelings. If you were faking it, you would concern them. You also taught them a good and healthy way of coping with such sadness. Well done, my friend. Well done. They will learn by your example, of how you live your life, of how you deal with what life throws at you.

Damned cliches..... Honesty really is the best policy. How will your kids learn to deal with their emotions if you don't deal with yours openly? Believe me there will be times when you overstep bounds and times when you will be locked down like fort knox. Overall though honesty is the best thing for them with a healthy dose of age appropriate talk. Oh, and some art therapy.... draw how you feel together. Kids work with images more than words.

Yah so, get an attorney. A good one will be willing to work with you on the prices and what to pay and when, but make sure you get one that specializes in Family Law. You want to be able to fend off the Social Workers when you need to because they can invade every aspect of your personal life without you know about it. And they will. An attorney will stop that and know what to do. You will never be a bad parent as long as you keep trying to be a good one, AND know that you make mistakes. Mistakes that can be avoided in the future. :) Dont worry. It will be ok. Its going to be a minute before it is, but it will be.
