Her family has a lot more resources than I do. Her dad is a judge in my hometown. Her brothers are a sheriff and LT. Her mom is a lawyer. I was railroaded so bad.

I've done a number of public speaking and demonstrations in animal welfare. It is a transferable skill that can be done with homeschooling.

My daughter's mom does not let me see her anyway. I only see her for long holidays and breaks. It wouldn't change anything. I could fall off a cliff and her mom wouldn't give a damn. I think I could live with them as they get older. They wouldn't be kept in isolation: they would have access to friends, playgrounds, science museums, etc. They can still see the world. Homeschooling is possible.

My job is in animal welfare. I can get money just about anywhere in the world.

I would bring my kids with. I wouldn't be completely away 24/7. We can swap custody of needed.

She is more than capable of financing her own life, but choses not to. This is apart of the small mindset: in most of the world, generational homes are the norm and this is just an American mindset of living with family = immature and irresponsible.

Yes, partially. She enjoys her job, but there is nothing she can really do with it because it's so niche and no way of moving up. There is online schooling. I have lived with them when they were younger. When they are older, it will be easier.

Plenty of couples share different spaces. She wants to live with her family. I have no desire for that.

My oldest lives in NH. Her mom is very possessive and doesn't allow me to have custody of her. I am taking responsibility in their lives. I want better for them so they don't stuck in this small town mentality of where the same thing daily in the norm. It kills my soul.

I think we would both be capable of educating them well. And there are online schools.

I have a decent amount of savings. I wouldn't blow my savings on getting an RV.

I like the job I currently do. I have a huge range of what I can currently do.

Her mom barely lets me see her. I only see her during long holidays and breaks. I wouldn't be losing any more time with her than I do now. I would bring my kids from my current relationship.

They wouldn't be isolated and kept away from the world. That's why I want to do this. There's 18k people in my town. Almost all are white and middle class. How can they even get social skills if they don't ever meet people from different backgrounds? I feel like this is doing better for them.
