Thanks Lemon, Petunia, and almedafan.

how did your children respond?

They both cried, especially my youngest. It was a sad time for all. I just sat on the couch and cried for a while before getting started. Then I said my stuff. I looked over at my husband while I was talking and he was crying too. My youngest wouldn't look at us the whole time, and just sat in the rocking chair with her back to us and these big dark glasses on, silently crying. Later, she went outside in the dark and stood alone in the pouring rain. My oldest daughter did really well--pretty amazing, actually. She thanked us for not being parents who yell at each other over the dinner table. Afterwards, she even tried to comfort me. She told me I had done a good job telling them. My therapist had said be prepared for questions, but they didn't have any. Since then, they've had some, which I think is good, although my youngest's questions show she doesn't quite "get" what divorce means, and it is heartbreaking.

Hope things go as well for you as possible, Lemon.
