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.

@grecianurn82 Sorry to see your update Xmas Sad

Natsku · 25/12/2021 20:02

I'm sorry OP, that's awful news :( Don't tell your children until you've got your head around it yourself first, and then when you're ready it'll be a bit easier to tell them. I assume the police will have told the adult children already.

Lovemusic33 · 25/12/2021 20:03

So sorry for your loss 😞. Thoughts are with you, your dc and his adult dc.
