Find out how Robert revealed the horrific news — such a tragic story.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. had the sad task of telling his children that their mother Mary Kennedy killed herself, and now we know how he handled the grief.

Robert, 58, was beyond heartbroken when he had to confront his kids — Conor, Kyra, William and Aiden — about the May 16 suicide, the New York Daily News reports.

“He looked like he was pretty much in shock,” family friend Peter Michaelis tells the paper. “He had just an absolutely shocked and stunned look. He could not believe it.”

We wish the family the best during this difficult time.

From what I have read he was leaving her destitute when NY divorce law says the standard of living and ability to earn should be considered. Also read he was friendly with the judge so she was getting the shaft.

You are so right! Robert Kennedy said that the family considered her a Kennedy long before they married…and yet now she was being kicked out of the clan. Plus, he was putting all his money and power towards taking her children away.What it really sad is that she did not see a life on the other side of being a Kennedy. She would have been entitled to some millions with which she could have built a new life. I guess the problem was she loved her life as it was,and likely could not see beyond to where she could build a new one.She put up with a lot from her husband and all for not.

He is an idiot if he was shocked. He cheated on her over and over knowing that she would probably drink under the stress. Then he tried to take away her kids due to her drinking problem. Who wouldn’t drink if their husband cheated over and over and then tried to kick them out of the family home, take the kids away, humiliate them in court and the community, and leave them financially devastated. She gave up 18 years raising kids for him so he could become famous and travel around. Then he threw her out for someone younger just as he did with his first wife. This guy is a creep. I hope his kids see that.
