From 13 years and up parents should realize that children can understand more than you think if you take the time to explain what has happened between you and your partner. You may think some things are too personal, but, if you really look around kids today are maturing at a much faster rate than we use to 20 - 40 years ago. Kids are falling in and out of love from 12 up and if you read this board you will see how many pregnant teens (12 up) there are. If both parents just fall out of love then both parents should sit down with the teen and tell them. If mother or father has fallen in love with someone else this too should be explained to the teen, but made clear they had nothing to do with it and it's between mom and dad. Always be sure to tell the teen the truth that you both love him/her no matter what. As much as it can hurt one or the other mate they should NEVER use the children to get back at each other and should come to some agreeable compromise. One or the other of the mates should never put down the other and keep their true feelings to themselves. Often young male teens feel a need to protect their mother if she is the one hurting the most. It takes time for a teen to come to grips with this and they feel like their world is falling apart. You have to both reassure the teen that not much has changed (and mean it) with the exception you won't be living together. That the teen can spend so much time with both of you and if there are family weddings, etc., then the two partners should be able to get along for the sake of the teen. If drugs or every day arguing or abuse or even the fact one of the parents is gay is a factor in the marriage then this truth should be told to the teen as well (they probably already know. NEVER lie to your teen! Good luck
