Kids first overnight camp ... pending separation ?s - 06/08/04 12:39 PM
***Posted this on In Recovery, but thought I would post here, as well. Know this forum gets lots of activity.
Was thinking about this all night long and need some help.
WH is due to move out soon. Not sure of exact date but within a few weeks.
D (almost 11) and S (9) are both going to their first overnight camps starting on Father's Day for a week. They are going separately.
Our D is going to horse camp about 45 minutes away from Sunday through Friday. She won't know anyone there.
Our S is going to gymnastics camp about 4 hours away and he will be with 3 other buddies.
My question is if WH moves out BEFORE camp, what will the emotional ramifications be to them?
Will camp be good for them because they will be away from it all?
Will they be sad and scared in the middle of the night ... wanting their Mommy and Daddy?
Feeling REALLY freaked out about this now! Please offer some guidance.
