Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
I guess I just never thought of this but I was wondering if anyone is in the same position or what they did. I was contacted at work that I need to put someone down in case there is ever an emergency. Damn, now that I am divorced, I don't know what to do...who to put. I am here with no family (parents live abt 3 hours away), my kids are too little, and I have nobody else here....and my only option is to put my ex, I guess, however I don't want him making any decisions for me at all. I never gave much thought and the obvious answer would be my parents but they aren't close if there is an immediate needed response. Just a thought...now I am kind of upset thinking of what to tell my boss.
I don't have any family in my immediate vicinity to make a quick decision. They are, at least, an hour away and my parents, well meaning though they are, are unreliable.
I don't really have a choice and it's not the worst choice I can think of.
I mean, she's the mother of my son. She should be in the loop if I'm permanently indisposed.
((llmt))
A general question now....saying that...should the ex or stbx if you have kids always be the "emergency contact"??
If you get remarried, hm, idk , i'd prolly change my primary to the current and secondary to ex, if the kids were not of age anyway.
on the emergency contacts for the school, I always had a friend/neighbor, because the Ex probably wouldn't have even known where to go to pick the kid up.
And the neighbors had me as their kid em. contact in case she wasn't around.
If I remarried (*once again, pausing for laughter*), the contact would be the new wife. And, she could call or text or send smoke signals to the ex.
Just my opinion.
Once remarried I agree I would make the new wife the emergency contact.
