In an effort to stand strong after her very public split with Seal, Heidi Klum isn’t speaking publicly about the details of what lead to their unexpected divorce for the sake of her children.  ”I’m a lioness.  I have four cubs.  I’m a mom.  I want to take care of my kids and protect them.  I don’t want to talk about them, or him, or me,” said Klum.  However, she did reveal that things between her and the singer weren’t always as perfect as they seemed.  According to People, the model is spending time at home with her children and avoiding reading about her divorce in the news.

How do you keep the drama of your divorce away from your kids?

Cupid’s Advice:

1. Be careful what you say: Never argue or talk about the details of the divorce in the front of the kids.

2. Answer their questions: Encourage your children to come to you with their questions and concerns about the changing situation.

3. Don’t put them in the middle: The worst thing you can do when kids are involved in a divorce is to put them in the middle of a custody battle or a fight.

If your marriage isn’t working out, should you stay together for the kids?  Share your thoughts below.

    The kids have the right to know the details of the divorce. You’ll be surprised of how much they would undertstand you right away. They’ll thank you for trusting them with the truth. Because I thanked my mom too.

    If it’s not working out, you should end the marriage in legal ways but have your ex-husband support your children financially.

    Dealing with a ‘difficult’ marriage is never easy. But, you have to stay for the kids. They have to have a complete family to come home to. They do not deserve the trauma of a custody battle or a broken family either.
