My son's (7 almost 8) dad (27) died of an overdose in a McDonalds bathroom yesterday ...


I am now faced with the idea of telling him. His family is also cremating and making something out of his remains, one of these tokens will be given to my son. My issue is that, being a heroin addict, he hasn't seen my son in 3 years. He calls my fiance dad and doesn't bring his real dad up anymore. He does have very fond memories of him, when he was around he was his favorite person in the world. I want to tell him for honesty's sake I just need advice on how and when telling him is appropriate and I'm also nervous about presenting him with the remains idk if I should wait to do that? Or do it at the same time?Idk I didn't expect to be as upset as I am about this and it all feels like too much. Like I just shouldn't have to do it, at least not yet, but here I am. Thank you in advance.Edit: and omg his girlfriend is pregnant with his son and I also don't know how to deal with that. Everyone wants to come together around my son and his son on the way. I just don't know how to handle him having a brother from a father he barely knows and someone I've only met once last night .... via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2CJUkVZ
