Ex-etiquette: If frightened by ex’s calls, call the authorities
Q. My ex and I were married for five years. He worked nights and I worked days. He would call me every day at 9 a.m. to say he was home and wish me a good morning. I was at work and thought it was cute, but then a year and a half ago I found out he was cheating with someone on his shift and I filed for divorce. He cried and begged me not to leave him, but the whole thing grossed me out and I couldn’t stay. He still calls every morning at 9 a.m. I’ve blocked him. He changed his number and continues to call. I changed my number, but my sister felt sorry for him and gave him my new number. What’s good ex-etiquette?

Real Life Mama: Being there when it matters
One very important goal of mine as a parent is to prepare my kids with the tools that they will need to one day go out in this world on their own. I want them to be able to face any situation in front of them, whether it is by calling on things they have been taught or hitting their knees and asking for God’s help.
