Sorry for bringing the mood down but i don't feel like i can talk to anyone in real life yet. To cut a long story short I haven't heard from my ex sunce Tuesday, we have 2 young children sonthis is very out of character. His phone appears to be off for the last 24 hours. He has adult children who text me this morning concerned as they hadn't heard from him. They've asked the police to call to do a welfare check. We're waiting for news. Its surreal, I'm here with the kids and their presents knowing that there's a good chance something awful has happened. Their dad wouldnt be in good health and has a history of addiction issues. I don't know why I'm posting, I've told my mum but I'm playing down how worried i am as she has family there and she's busy.

Oh op. I've been looking at this thread all day waiting for a Christmas miracle. I'm so sorry.
Do you have any saved voice messages that the kids can listen to just for today? You can deal with the fall out tomorrow maybe. Honestly I have no experience and I wouldn't know what to do. Oh poor you.
