I have posted here a lot under this and other names (particularly snorbs) about my ex, the mother of my children. She had long-standing alcohol problems which is why our children live with me rather than her.
Last night I was visited by the police who told me she had been found dead in her home.
Having to tell my children that their mother had died was, without question, the worst thing I have ever had to do. Having to tell her sister comes second.
I don't know what to do. I feel like a boy pretending to be a grown-up. How on earth do you help your children through something like this? Even though our relationship broke down years ago I still feel like I've been punched. How do you deal with this?
