Hi all.
I have spent a lot of time thinking of a way to deliver my letters to my children after I'm gone.
They're too young to understand why dad's gone and they can't possibly understand why I ended my life for many years still. For now I'm planning to just have a last perfect day with them and kiss them goodbye before I leave.

The solution I think I've landed on is buying and prepaying a few domains searchable in theirs and my name with my letters password protected by a password they'll know. Possibly there's even a script or something that can count down to a password tip to be revealed when they're a certain age.

I just want to make sure they know I loved them and that it's not their fault I left and I think their old man has a few pearls of wisdom I can pass on.

There's nothing in my letters I'm afraid any hackers or whatever would gain access to so security as such is not a concern. The only concern is that I can't leave it in a bank box or anything that'll be accessible by the mother as their guardian. I expect she'll be very busy either making them forget me or badmouthing me untill the children start believing it. A love letter from me to our children would likely be buried by her.

I don't know much about this sort of thing but could you leave a will and possibly instructions from a lawyer in regard to giving them letters at a certain point in time?

Hello, your concerns are more than real.
There is such a thing called a future mail (probably more popular in China)
and http://www.letter2future.com/
But there is no guarantee they will be working 5 years later (although they say up to 10 years).

Edit: Btw I will contact the creator of the website now and ask if it is still working. Last letter sent in 2016.
Edit 2: Wrote a message to him. Was wrong saying last letter in 2016 - last public letter in 2016. He is on fb, waiting for a reply

Yes, I read in the resources there's a future mail service. But personally I usually change my email address like once every two years because eventually it starts getting so much spam.

My children don't even know what email is. So there's no way of telling Wich mail I should send it to in about fifteen years time.
I was thinking of using that service for alerting the services when I'm dead as I plan to die in the night and hopefully have the services collect my body so no family sees me like that. (I have a family member who lives nearby). But I have confided in a friend who was going alert the services on a specified hour on the excuse that he "found" a note.

For using lawyers and wills - that's probably a good and reliable method for people with money. Legal services are incredibly expensive in the country where I live and I have been in the process of improving my life/status over the last few years by studying and change occupation completely. So at the moment I have pretty much only debt. I can only wish I had nothing :)
