What do you tell your kids when you break up with somebody they adored?
For my daughter, Gracie, she's turning four this year. I'd been dating this girl - not her mother - for almost as long as she's been alive. We already went through a phase where we had to tell Grace that my girlfriend wasn't her mother, and although she was as cool with it as a little kid could be, she would come to me and ask why I didn't "make a family" with this girl.
So, when me and the girl broke up last Monday, I didn't have the heart to tell Grace. She recently asked about my ex, but I can't bring myself to let her know that my ex is no longer going to visit.
How do/did you break it to your kid? And how did they react?
