i'm sorry that sounds awful

is it temporary? if it's temporary than just tell them your seperated, I don't think that there is an easy route, but you sound like a good hardworking man, and I'm sorry that you must go through with this

Good Luck Man,

I'll be praying for you.

Answer 2

Do you need to tell them all that right now? She is moving to be with her Dad and for her job. You said you have agreed to stay together for now, things could work out! I hope they do. Good Luck xox

Answer 3

12 girls is a lot for a woman to take on. I would be honest and say you are having time apart, if you lie or sugar coat it it will catch up with you. Sorry, you have my sympathy for what its worth

Answer 4

explain the job situation and personal situation

tell them to love and help there mom with her father

and that you will be there if not in person over the telephone for them.

be honest if not they will hate you for lying
