advice on this one

[forward]

I agree that when people really want to contact someone, esp in this day and age, they have a way. Take down the page.

I can't imagine how your kids feel but they may need some pre-emptive counseling in case he does come back into their lives, or tries to. Consider that maybe it's good he's not in their lives if he is having these major issues. A counselor could help you prepare them for this.

or if you can't do a counselor, take the kids to Al Alnon? It may benefit them to know where their father may be, in terms of the disease, and how to handle their feelings.

The kids are vulnerable when they have been neglected and need to be prepped for possible attempts at contact.

Or if they aren't, try to talk to thm on the off chance that he does show up.
