Letting you all in on this as you are the best group of people I can think of to tell my troubles to.
Last night in an accident, my ex and kids' father died at Catalina Island. Looks like he might have had a heart attack while swimming. I am ok, but kids are understandably going to have a rough time. He had not had contact with them in several years. His side of the Family has also not been in touch, and now we have to try to work through this together. Stressful for all, to say the least.
Try to work things out with your Families while you can, you never know what will happen tomorrow.

DM, I am so sorry. I know I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but I feel I know you well. Please know you and your children are in my thoughts and prayers. Please let us know if you need anything!

Make sure and talk it through with your kids. Even though there hadn't been much contact in the last few years they may still have some emotional bond.

As for you, a couple of hours of Metallica at 11/10 should do the job. ;)
