"Mama, are you and Papa going to get a divorce?"
Not today, baby.
"You sure?"
Yes, baby, I'm sure.
"How do you know?"
Because it's Saturday, sweetie. Lawyers don't work on Saturdays.
What? You know one that does?

That's one of those moments in parenthood that are truly terrible. I will never forget the night that my wife and I told the kids that we were going to separate. To say that they were upset is a vacuous understatement- they were devastated.
I have no regrets over divorcing my ex- life has been far better since I left her- but I hated seeing my kids having to learn to cope with that concept. There is still fallout from it to this day.
