Leaving Parents

So, in this book crank that I'm reading it starts talking about a girl named Kristina, whose going to look for her father. It tell you that when she was six years old her parents split up and now she want to go find her real dad. So, I'm sitting here wondering, how do you tell your children that your spliting up. I mean that must not be a very easy thing to tell a kid. Man, also I wouldn't want to be the parent who had to tell them, because you know after that moment your kid would blame you for it. How about for the kids, that must not be an easy thing to go through. I mean my parents have never split up but, I can understand how hard that would be. Well, I haven't gotten that far into my book but, I think it will turn out to be a very good read for me.
