Bekya I am sure that as the children move up into higher grades the structure of the assignments become much harder. I would be lying not to say that what is going on between you and your husband has affected the children to some extent. They are at very impressional ages, not babies but certainly not old enough either to make any sense of it. Children are always affected even if they are adults themselves and have their own children. Be as honest with them as you can and always keep them in the loop. I mean share what is going on so they don't feel to blame in any way. I hope and pray your ordael gets easier and know that the children will be alright as time passes. Just remember they are more perceptive than we like to believe so be honest with them always. God bless you all....
