His dad just has diff priorities and sadly his son isn't one of them...
In a perfect world him and I would get along and he would have an active role in his life.. But that's just not the case. He let's down my son a lot.. For now kiko gets upset and quickly forgets. That's not going to last forever.. One day my ex will have to answer to his son.
I'm just gonna be the best mama ever. He deserves nothing less.
dating guys that break into your house and cause all sorts of drama, and doing drugs, etc etc is the opposite of a good mama by the way. I thought someone should tell you.
Aside from the whole polio thing Liam seems like a good dad and a strong provider. That's important. When I was 5 we moved to the middle of buttf*ck nowhere Norway from Texas. We didn't know anyone, didn't speak the language, etc. It was very, very hard. But we powered on through because we had a strong family. Your situation would be nothing like that, which makes it even better. Trust me, none of you will ever regret living in a foreign country, especially one with a ready built family waiting for you. Growing up overseas is the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. As it will be for you and E. And any additional Facebook troll status children you may be expecting.
Beaches, no language barrier, hot women everywhere, hot dudes everywhere, thousands of venomous things that can kill you instantly... Sounds like heaven.
You're very right. I just cannot handle HUGE change very well, and even if my daughter weren't an issue, I'd still have massive anxiety about. I'm just high strung.
And LOL @ troll status children. That was funny. What is funniest how many people really didn't read and just saw "We're expecting". My old boss, Liam's MOM, so many people. Hilar.

Thanks a lot, Obama.

I'm with ya. We want to eventually move to Denver. If it were just up to April, we'd already be there. She doesn't care. I want to move, but it freaks me the fuck out.
Well, it's her father. He would fight tooth and nail for her not to move. The shitty thing is, one of the reasons why I divorced him, is the fact that he's just not around for his kids. His current wife is there, but he is not. He's always off somewhere with some excuse to do this or that, or do some project for someone, who the hell knows, but family isn't a priority for that dude.
Right. And I just don't want her having to make such a huge decision when she seems happy & otherwise well adjusted.
Yea, I know. But, she does have the decision in her hands. She doesn't know about this completely yet. Just bits. There will be talks very soon.
Yes, this is the shitty part for sure.
LOL. Running into him there was the best ever. The panic in his eyes made me hard.
Yeah, I mean I have a hard enough time if someone moves anything in the house that is carefully placed by me.
God I hate to say this... You and I are a lot alike.
Do it! Domestic moves are eeeeeasy. Once you nail down the Big Three: job, residence, and moving company. That's all you need. International moves require a sh*tload more moving expense, knowledge of the destination country's labor laws, tax laws, visa requirements, and other things, an understanding of the basics such as WHAT THE f*ck DO I DO TO SURVIVE EVERY DAY, etc. It's scary. But man, Australia is like a groovier California with better accents and a functioning economy. Juli should take the plunge, kids in tow.

Our time is cheaper now. We used to drive to meet up and exchange Skylar, but now she flies. And she loves it! This past summer, I flew her & her friend here. Such a cool experience for them. They were so silly and giddy about it.
It sounds funny, but it's nice to be able to "place an order" for your child now.
The drive was such shit.I'm a really, really good driver. I put on music and zone out with my thoughts. Before I know it, 3 hours have gone by. 200 miles is nothing for me. (But 1,800 miles to Illinois and back in 24 nonstop hours almost killed me.)
The one thing that I'm really grateful for in all this is that Ghost is remaining very involved, the kids are back and forth between houses all week, seeing us both regularly. I think it's really helped them adjust a lot too. Any person that I end up with best be okay with living in Arizona for at least the next 10 years, cause we will both do anything possible to keep them close to both of us. I can't imagine being in Juli's situation and trying to work that out.
Yea, maintaining positivity between you two is important for your kids. Too much angst is caused when there is tension. And at some point, there might be. And if they ever sense it and ask questions just being honest really helps. "Your father and I sometimes have a hard time, but we are working it out and it's nothing to worry about." Divorce is so hard but it's good that your kids are quite young, so they can adjust easier than older kids. You sound like you've got things figured out well.
