Telling my 8 yr old...

Well... cats out of the bag. I told him and he totally took it not the way I expected. He's upset and mad at me I told him he can be that that's ok then he told me he's gonna hate me everyday till I go to heaven and I had to walk to the other room. My mind is set on this. So I'm just going to give him some time to take it in and I told him I'm always here from him to ask me anything he wants when he's ready... so I guess I'm still at a stand still with him. 8 year olds are tricky
