My kids are 4 and 2. I recently was incarcerated for 6 weeks awaiting sentencing, and going all that time without seeing me really traumatized them.Now, I have to report to jail tomorrow to begin my sentence, and I don't know how to tell them in the least damaging/shocking way possible.The first time, we just said I went on a trip, rather than to jail. Do you think I should tell them the truth, even though that might open up lots of new questions and feelings?I'm hoping I'll only be gone about a week this time as I be applying for the GPS ankle bracelet to do house arrest.I just want to minimize the anguish and trauma of me being gone. Any suggestions? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2vEdRDz
