Need advice....
Ok-so I haven't blogged in quite a while, but I actually have let go of all of my anger towards BM n the resentment I felt towards DH on a multitude of levels-but mainly towards how he was handling his kids.....I am the testimonial that things CAN do a complete 180 and ur life can get back on track...as long as u both r on board!!!
That being said, my DH works out of state n drives home every weekend-since things have been resolved between BM n myself-she has begun to let the kids have more interaction with me-before DH would have to pick up kids on his way in-n drop off on his way out bc I was not allowed.....
This has been going well for a while now, and the option of a promotion for my DH has come up under the exception that his family moves to the same state....I am on board with this mainly bc it is hard to b away from ur husband all week n do everything for the kids!! But my main concern is that the skids WILL NOT take this well....they r still having issues with him leaving now-n he still gets his weekends with them, n some extra time here n there.....it will not b a good situation for anyone if we don't get to spend as much time with them-I'm concerned with him going back to the guilty daddy syndrome n them going back to acting like spoiled whimsy brats all the time when they r with us bc BM has done better-but still does not enforce things-n they still get away with a lot while in her care....
Also my husband is under the dilution that she will either b driving them half way, or letting them fly to us every other weekend.....I just DON'T see that happening....granted this whole ordeal is still in the "possibility" stages, but I would like some advice from anyone that has done or is doing the out of state visitation thing....Thank u for any input!

Thank u-I just needed some
Thank u-I just needed some reassurance that it can work! N BM is being reasonable....granted it took 3 yrs! But I'll take what I can get-I don't see the EOW still taking place, but def on the long weekends n breaks...if this becomes a reality, then we will all have a sit down to discuss in depth bc ultimately everyone wants what is best for the kids.....all of them! Thanks again!
If he's the one that moves,
If he's the one that moves, can he really force BM to drive 1/2 way or help pay for airfare?
I say move as it really IS
I say move as it really IS best for all involved with the exception of dh not seeing his kids as much.
My dh and I talked about this too and if the opportunity came up we would move too. I know he is not happy with the thought of not seeing his kids as much as now but he would know it is the big pic that is important not the here and now. It is better for the kids to have a better life and to see them as much as he can then to not better yourself and the kids would benefit form that too.
