Cupid’s Advice:

Break-ups can be hard, especially when you both have a child together. Here is how you and partner can handle a break-up while trying to raise a child:

1. Try your best to normalize the transition at first: Don’t make drastic changes, and instead try to keep to the routine of whatever your child does normally. Eventually you or your partner can find another place to live, but try not to rush into packing on the first day of breaking the news to your child.
