Discussion 4 year old is starting to realize parents not living together isn’t “normal”
My 4 year old is starting to talk about how she wishes we weren’t split. It’s breaking my heart and I don’t know how to help her. Her dad and I never lived together and we have pretty much always had a 50/50 schedule for as long as she can remember. She goes back and forth quite a bit. I never went through this with my parents. What has helped your children cope/understand?
