How do you tell your kids you & daddy are separating?

    My husband & I are on a trial separation, and it looks like it will become permanent. We have agreed to just say he was staying at grand dad's house to help grand dad with the farm, but lately dad has been saying things to the boys (6yrs & 4yrs) like, " mommy wont let me sleep at home anymore" or "ask mommy can you stay with me for a night". I don't particularly want that as I would prefer to keep them in a routine, as they are so young, as I'd be afraid that my husband's family would also be bad mouthing me to them too! The reason for the separation was verbal & emotional abuse ( in front of kids) & uncontrollable temper, to the point of physical threats last year. I have initiated the separation because of this, and to protect the kids from being exposed to this sort of upbringing, yet he blames me and is using the kids to hurt me.

    what do I say to the children? how do we do it? And how do I handle the situation when daddy points blame on me ??
