Taking that next step......
I have recently made the decision to get a separation,,, uuugghhhh! I have 2 boys under the age of 6 and I'm feeling so many different things. I just want to make sure the transition is a healthy one for the kids and am looking for some suggestions on how to help them as well as myself cope........
Re: Taking that next step......
Without knowing your specifics I will just make general recommendations. I don't have kids so this is more for you:
Take one day at a time. Some days will be okay and some will down right suck. Know that it will get easier as time goes on.
Take this time for you. It is not uncommon to feel "lost" so make sure that you focus your time on you (and your kids, obviously).
I always suggest therapy. There are a LOT of emotions that occur around these life changes and I find it helpful to have an objective person to talk to.
Post on here as much as you like for support!

Ditto the above poster.
Sometimes I have to take the day a minute at a time.
I have two kids also, under the age of 5. Try to keep things as normal for them as possible, same schedule if you can, and also, try to be as honest with them as you can. I talk to my 5 year old a lot about what is going on (mommy and daddy are in a time out, we both love you very much, this isn't your fault, etc.)
This board has been amazing. Best of luck to you!
