Not tring to judge here but.........
I would never, never, never, never, never, ever leave my child and move to another country. Never. Never. Never.
I don't know any of your circumstances, but they must be horrible and dire for you to be leaving your children and moving to another country.
My husbands mother left him and it f**ked him up good. God bless and watch over your children.
Trust me - if your choices were stay and have your children destroyed or leave and let them have a life, you would make that choice in a heartbeat.
I will NEVER EVER drag my children through court and custody battles again. NEVER. You don't know what it is like for them. When I first told my girls that I was going to stop fighting their father for them their first words were, "But mommy, if you give us to daddy you know he will never let us see you again."
I replied, "First of all your daddy loves you and would never do that. Secondly, why should we stress over something like that if it hasn't even happened?"
THEY IMMEDIATELY SAID, "WE WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN MOMMY."
I can go with a clear consciense. They are well cared for and even though I will NEVER have to send their father a dime in support I will STILL SEND MONEY TO SUPPORT THEM. They are my children and I will do whatever necessary to insure that they have everything they need. If they ever decide they want to live with me, then I will be ready for them, but until they are old enough to decide that I WILL NOT LET THEM CHOOSE. I CHOSE FOR THEM - AND THEY WILL STAY WITH THEIR FATHER. PERIOD.
I WILL NEVER EVER LET MY GIRLS GO IN FRONT OF A COURT OR SPEAK TO A SOCIAL WORKER OR FEEL THAT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LOVE ON OF US OR THE OTHER.
Never...
Everyone can say whatever the fuck they want, but like you said Voodoo Lady - if there was any other way....
