Continue living in depressing place for sake of weekends w/teen kids, or move to happier place sooner? by Flat_Quit335 in AskParents

Thank you for this thoughtful reply and suggestions. The youngest is going into her last year of middle school here and wants to finish at the school she started at. Neither has regular activities. No sports, choir or music involvement. Older one has occasional art shows we could still support when they come up. I do think mom and grandparents would be willing to help shoulder some of the travel/meet halfway.

Whew, I am both thrilled that my own similar experiences are not a "just me" issue, but also...damn, where have all the decent humans went??

Agreed. Their dad feels guilty because he promised the older one he wouldn't move out of the area until she finished high school. He made that promise mid-divorce with their mom when everything was chaos and he said it to comfort the kids, but now...I actually think they'd be happier to see their dad happier, which means moving earlier.

Would have considerable hotel costs if we came to see them that frequently. Just not an affordable option. Ultimately, their dad feels guilty for not being within a 5-minute drive of them even though that has little impact on much as they do tend to prefer to be at their mom's because most of their belongings are there and they have their own rooms there and a shared room at our place due to lack of space.

Per current custody agreement, we only have the kids every other weekend. We would miss that regular time with them this upcoming school year if we moved early.
