I’m going through a divorce.  He is gambling addict, cheated on me and neglectful.  Most of this was very well hidden from the kids.  In their eyes, I just packed up and took them from their home.  I know it takes time but how do I help them cope and not feel so betrayed by me without revealing their dad’s shortcomings.  Regardless of it all, I believe they have the right to have their childhood protected including thinking their daddy is great.  Any experienced advice???
