Redlegg
The gambling part just bothers me for the simple fact she was cheated out of an Oscar for her "poor me" performance in October in which I applauded by writing out checks and keeping my garage open for her Infiniti...
I moved "out" here for her and I have lived outside the suburbs commuting 100 miles round-trip for 13 years. I did this so she could live in close proximity to her parents and only one of us would have to commute to work.
The feelings of duty, obligation, and sacrifice have waned since the "ax fell".
Being raised in the rustic rural South, I have been wanting to have a chunk of dirt to call my own and it is not spite or fear that drives my thoughts far from this place.
I hope to have a home,20+ acres, and a couple of horses that, hopefully, my children can enjoy when they spend the summers and one "floating" week per year with me; plus, with my "new" master's degree substitute teach or change careers, altogether.
The only question remaining is: Great Falls, Montana or Knob Noster, Missouri?
Redlegg, are you from "the LA" or Louisiana?

My STBX is moving in 2 weeks across the country and I can tell you from the standpoint of our teenage daughter, it's really, really hard on her. She'd trade just about anything in her life to keep her father close to her. You want a chunk of land that your "kids can play on", but if you saw them every week, they wouldn't care if you just sat in your car during your parenting time, just so long as you're a part of their every day life. I think you would end up missing them and regretting a decision to move away. One day, when your kids are grown, then you can chase your dreams, but as long as you're a parent of minor children, you need to step up to the plate and provide for them, which means giving your guidance to them when they need it the most.
PLUS, if how you describe your ex is true, do you want your children only influenced by her? Sounds like you need to be there for them to balance them out....she needs Gamblers anonymous.
Think really hard about how your actions will affect your kids...some kids never recover from this kind of shock.
Good luck!

Read these posts carefully...Beckaleigh's ex is the smart one, Arkube is the idiot.
Treating a women as a human being was your first mistake, you've been adding to it since then...

IMO, you would be making a BIG mistake to leave your kids behind. Stay there for 15 more year and then move to wherever you want to live. Your kids need you - particularly if they have a gambling, credit card running up mother.
