Ricko Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Picked my kids up in half-term to spend some time with me. 48 hrs later their mother (my ex-wife) has died in hospital, and the children are legally in my care. Time to de-clutter my life and share it fully with my lovely kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 The childrens mother has died, I think the response should be one of sympathy, not "great news". A complete tragedy for them, hopefully they will get help to come to terms with the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricko Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Many thanks for all your kind sentiments. It has been a real shock. The kids are coping really well and know that there will be changes. As my daughter commented, I have been a good non-resident daddy, now I need to be a good resident daddy. My house is no longer mine it is 'our' home. Thanks to freecycle I have had a steady stream of people collecting good junk. Need to split the main bedroom into 2 smaller bedrooms. Just back from a mate who is going to start decorating next week for me, he's even got all the paint from this weeks job to do mine. Without going into details my kids have had a rough time during the last 12/18 months, the future will be better for them. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Sorry to hear about your Ex! It must be turmoil for the Kids. I raised my lad on my own for the last 14 years but the difference is we have not lost his Mum. You already seem to show the right attitude, it's not my home it's our's A partition wall should be an easy enough affair to split the room into two. There are so many things to sort when Kids come to live with you it's unreal. Change of phone No and address for the School records, Change of doctors and dental surgery etc etc. It takes time but you get there. Plenty of open sympathetic ears here buddy.
