I love My SD5, but the I have a small frustration with the situation right now...and that's moving to a new town/city....we currently live in a small isolated town...both DH & myself were born and raised here...I've always wanted to raise a family here but this place has change a lot in the last 5 years alone... We could move and have a good live somewhere else but Dh isn't going to leave without SD5, which is totally understandable, right now he see's her every week and its no issue to get her for events and such even if it's something taking place on BM's time. If we move he would only see her when she comes to visits (holidays, summer vacation etc). I honestly don't want her to be raised mostly by BM & her family. (we've had people tell us she is more well behaved with DH & myself, friends, nurses and teachers have told us)
We are staying in our home town and we are doing well and both Dh & myself agree this place will always be home, if we do choose to move i'm sure we would figure it out.... DH thinks he will get sole custody of SD5 someday (BM can't keep up appearances forever and people are actually surprised he doesn't have full custody as it is but that's another story in itself...)

I'm just venting today.... I've moved away a couple of times before when i was single and had no kids... and I always come back, and to be honest I like having my family close by to help with me raising my BD1, this place has its good and bad traits just like any place really....
