If you have been following my other posts. I got stuck with this new house and on move-in day she announced she wanted a divorce. I don't want this forever home that is so far from my kids. I have two options:
(1). Move closer (10-15 miles) to the kids. This still means a 25-minute commute to work but makes it easier to go back and forth with the kids. On my days with them, I'll be able to drive them to school (Late teens so soon they will drive themselves).
(2). Move to the same old town where my ex lives so the kids can walk back and forth between houses. Downside is that my ex will be nearby and she's erradic at times. Another downside is it's actually a different county which is poorer and has nothing to offer, (no gym's, no grocery stores, etc. I would have to do all that stuff back in the county I work in).
Do I do what's the absolute best for the kids but honestly fairly negative for my own psychological well being (I finally after 20 years was getting out of that town), or do I do what's much better for me and better for the kids but not the best?
Your vote: (1) Move Closer But Not Same Town
