Divorce

[bdavis337]

Just to make things more complicated for Mark (who is a rock star lately, our PLAY therapist is going to be so surprised this Friday!) my husband and I are getting divorced.

HOW THE HECK am I going to explain this to him? Have any of you gone through this type of thing with your asd child? How did you help them figure it out?

I'm so sorry.
Are you ok?
If it were Andrew I'd be trying a social story I think.
Is play therapy available in your area?

No advice (sorry) just hugs & support. Maybe the play therapist could make some suggetions.

Rachelle, not really. We've been married almost 12 years. I can't believe I'm not going to have anyone to share these childhoods with anymore. But, I am the one who made the final "decision" although it's been years and years in the making. We are still just in the very beginning stages, he's still living here and it will be a few months before he leaves. We're trying not to say anything until we have concrete answers for the kids, with real dates and locations, so they have as much information as possible.

Social story, of course. I just don't know what else he might need. I don't know if we have play therapy, I bet we do, I live in a large university community.
