I split up with my husband over a month ago and we are still living in the same house as he refuses to leave until it is sold. We still have another of couple of weeks work until the house is ready to put on the market, and depending on how long it's on the market for, it could be several months until we actually part ways.
Our daughter is five and has already seen more than she should, in terms of nastiness to me from my husband, despite my best efforts. She is a happy and confident little girl who knows she is loved by everyone she meets and although I know I can't avoid the divorce hurting her, I am desperate to ensure I do my absolute best to help get her through it.
First of all, I don't know whether it would be best to tell her sooner, so she can get used to the idea, or when we put the house on the market. What do you think? And I just don't know how I'm going to tell her, any useful advice on breaking the news?
Thanks
