DEIDRE SAYS: IT’S only natural to lash out after learning such hurtful news, but don’t be tempted to involve your kids.

While they are young adults, that doesn’t mean you should involve them in your relationship problems. It’s not fair to them or their dad.

Don’t be tempted to “point score” or encourage them to take sides.

Children benefit from having both their parents in their lives, so trying to turn them against their father will hurt them as well.

Better to visit a relationship counsellor, alone or together, so you can separate with dignity.

My support pack How Counselling Can Help shows where to get support.
