| | | NEXT MESSAGE  | | | | | AUTHOR: | dad_beauregard | DATE: 02/07/02 6:41pm | | SUBJECT: |  single dad, 8 yr old son, and ex-wife's death | | | when and how do i tell my 8 yr old son that his mom, whom he hasn't seen since he was a year old, died of cancer last eyar? is now the best time to break it to him, or do i wait till he's older?
i was awarded sole custody of my son in a bitter custody battle, and i never communicated with my ex-wife. i raised my son myself until last year, when i remarried. right after, i learned my ex-wife had died of cancer.
my son never knew his mother-- how do i break the news to him? | |  | |
