HI @Paul Neil welcome to MSF My Support Forums. I am sorry you are in a post divorce situation which can disrupt the whole family. My first reaction is they are grieving the loss of a coherent family and they may feel they do not know why their world they created in their mind of a loving family is so disrupted.

Would you consider having a therapist so you could get professional advice on how to coparent and deal with the children's sadness?

There are a bunch of articles when I search for coparenting coping with childrens sadness but I am not sure which might apply to you.

How about inventing new games and routines? Maybe there is a need to reinvent life.

I love Warren Hanson for their illustrations and thoughtful books. Raising You Alone

I came across this book whose title seemed to be applicable to your situation I Have Two Homes: A Children's Book About Divorce | Etsy

All the best to you @CANDC
