That girl lives in north Alabama. I'm from the wiregrass area, so that has nothing to do with it.

I would think nothing else matters besides being with your kids as much as possible.

I would have so much more job satisfaction and life satisfaction as well. But idk how happy I would be without them.


and how sad would they be without you? how would you now being basically a true part time parent effect their lives? take that into consideration too. how old are they? job satisfaction does not equal life satisfaction IMO. a job and career is one thing, but your kids well being should trump all IMO.

To put it into perspective i turned down a job offer recently that was almost double my salary, bc at the job im at now, I get tons of time off with the kids and wife, and it means more to me than extra cheddar. But again, im not struggling so you have to take it into perspective.

Could you not go see them every weekend? We're not talking California to Florida..'Tard State and Deaths Waiting Room are next-door neighbors.

all of this makes me cringe

I would never even consider the offer if it meant leaving kids behind

Hmmm, I'm not sure divorcing in bama would've been much better.

Any chance you could have her declared an unfit mother and get full custody?

Maybe try to make a deal with your ex to get her to move back to Alabama too. Break her off some of that doubled salary.

how old are your kids? are they almost college aged or sub 12yrs old? Kids need their dad man and I know it already tears you up that some other dude is raising them every other week. just think if you left. HE would become their "father figure" you would be the guy they get to see one wkend a month.


They're 9 and 6. If they were close to college age, I would be okay with moving. But I know they depend on me. I'm the one that takes them to their games and is always there, while their mom is off somewhere with shithead and can't be bothered with being a mom.

Take the job.

Use skype every evening.

Negotiate more and better.

How old are they?

Ask ex to let you have joint custody when they get pubic hair. They live with you for junior high and high school.

Shes not going to like it when she has to be dad for young males 12 and up.

Discuss.

It's both respectable and understandable that you have your own aspirations, and I'm sorry your ex is so toxic, not allowing you to see your own sons as much as you should probably should be allowed to, I am not entirely aware of the entire situation. But I personally think, for now, your main priority should be seeing your children as much as possible.

Are you struggling financially? That's the only way I'd consider the job offer. Once you have kids they're the #1 priority.
