The most important thing is to hold it together for you kid(s) I always tried to focus on my son during the day, and allowed myself to cry and be upset at night. He didn't need to see what was going on. Most importantly also, is to never put your ex down in front of your child. Try not to discuss what's going on to other people where your child can hear. It is devastating to them. I'm sorry for your situation. God Bless

Handle it with class by not demeaning your ex infront of your children. Don't respond to it even if he does.
Don't put upon your children for your emotional needs. You are still the adult and if you need emotional support find supportive relatives or friends or a support group, but don't put your kids in the position of friends or adults which they are not ready to handle yet. Let them continue to be kids.
Also, be honest with them and up front and answer any questions they have to the best of your ability. They will be scared about the changes that will affect their lives and they will want to know what to expect. While you might not be able to tell them exactly, tell them as much as you can, so that they don't get blindsided by the changes.
Good luck and God bless!

No. 1? Get yourself a good babysitter. You're going to need some time to yourself.
No. 2? It's OK. You're going to come out great. You're going to do the best you can for your kid(s). You're going to meet new people and make friends you never thought you'd make.
No. 3? Don't second-guess yourself. Find that strong spot inside and just let it take over.
No. 4? Cry when you need to. Surround yourself with people who are willing to let you vent. Just don't do it in front of the kid(s). (See No. 1.)
No. 5? Get a good lawyer. Make sure you and your kid(s) are going to be OK financially.
No. 6? Rediscover you. You'll be shocked at what you find. And it'll be good, all good.
