Telling a 9-year-old we're getting divorced

Hardest conversation. Brief an AI to help you draft what you'll say — not as a script, but as a structure.

Difficulty: Advanced · Genre: Explain

The scenario

Child: 9, sensitive, has one younger sibling.
Situation: amicable separation, both parents will stay close.
You want: a 4-step talking outline you can actually deliver — short, honest, no euphemisms.

The goal

An AI should produce a 4-step outline: what we're saying, what stays the same, what changes, what they can ask any time. Each step in 1-2 lines a parent could actually say out loud.

What a strong brief covers

Should mention: child's age, sibling, that it's amicable, the outline format, the ban on euphemisms, and the constraint that each line must be sayable by a real parent under stress.
