Johann Niemand answered:
For children this is always hard to cope with. Don’t feel bad if you are angry at them for making you feel let down. Remember to be angry and get it over with. All of this is as scary for them as it is for you. The one way for you to go is to admit your anger and the feeling of loss to yourself and to deal with it. Then find ways to support them because the situation is ruining their lives too.
I would like to hear more from you on this, if you want. Maybe we can share some Ideas.
