Listen to this song right now. This is where they will get to some day. And it puts things so much more beautifully than I can: http://youtube.com/watch?v=6QgzLmppXC0
I swear to god it helped me survive.
Be honest with them and they will eventually understand the situation for what it was. Though that does include a fairly decent sense of where any blame (if at all) lies. Reassure them that its not with them.
They will also one day know that theres a time to get on and move over the past. If you are willing to make the effort they will too.
Therer's a lot to hope for and you can make the best of things!

Thanks, that's a great song.
My whole life has changed so when you say you know now you have little control on what can happen (bad things) that's exactly that. I used to turned crazy when i was losing control, now i know

(oh i guess i knew this before but accepting was the problem maybe ?

)
And i've learnt to deal with things in a different way too.
And the important thing now is how my kids feel with this big change in their life. And i know if im fine they are too. If i'm down or stressed they are too.
We've explained them all and insisted on the fact that they are for nothing in all that. And all the "classic blabla" about the parents decison, (that's life, we still love them the same etc etc .....)
During a time they kept questionning me about this or that. Not so much anymore. Routine ....

They are "old" enough to remember what happened in our life and why we took this decision, so they know by themselves that it was the good decision, on the other hand i hope they don't keep too many bad memories.
I hope one day, soon, i can tell them myself that i'm not angry anymore ... (for the moment i pretend im not ...... :s)
