Woman doubts if she should pick up his 11-year-old stepdaughter's birthday cake after boyfriend claims he's leaving her: 'For four years I've been dealing with these types of blow ups'

It is rarely an easy process to end a relationship, and this is doubly true if there are children involved. When this is the case, it is not only the feelings of the couple at stake but also those of the kids, who are, for the most part, not at fault for whatever has failed in a connection between two adults.

Nonetheless, it is all too common for children to be caught in the crossfire of a relationship that is reaching its end. If it is messy, it is almost guaranteed that they are going to receive some of the fallout. It isn't fair, but at times it winds up being unavoidable.

As an adult in this situation, one of the most important parts of walking away has to be minimizing the negative impact on any kids involved. Obviously, this is not always possible, but there are some things that can be done to soften the blow.
