About

Hello, My husband may be going to work in Singapore around July/September 2013. He is an expat regular but before we meet. We have been together for 3 years. married since the end of September 2012 :-) 4 children but each 2 with our ex spouses. 4 girls in total :-) For this project in Singapore, I am fully up for discovering and living this first experience of life outside our little world. My question and concern concerns the children: my husband's daughters will stay with their mother in France who has primary custody of them. They will join us (or we will return) every school vacation, or approximately every 2 months. On the other hand, concerning me, my fleas will follow us. They are 11 years old for Laura, and 8 years old for Marion. As much as the project is well received by Marion, who it is true is by nature very curious and enthusiastic, Laura is having a bit of a hard time with it and that makes me feel guilty and saddened. Laura would ideally like to continue seeing both mom and dad but that won't be possible. Beyond this fact, what upsets her the most and which she expresses in a rather angry manner:-/ She doesn't want to leave her school and her friends. I understand and was prepared for this attitude. It's normal. benchmarks are very important. I try to show him the positive aspect of this experience but.....for the moment it's not won. So if there are moms on this forum who have experienced this type of situation (beyond the separation from the spouse aspect) can you tell me how to help my sweetheart, how to present the project to her, what attitude should I adopt? and once there, will his anger pass? thank you for your advice.
