Thanks for your comments and suggestion. I wish I could do that... I've been trying to do so for quite some time, but so far without success. The problem is too that I need to have contact with her (to get in contact with the kids, which I like to do on a weekly basis by phone and postcards, and almost daily basis by email).
attorneytom,
Thanks for your reply and understanding the situatione re: the kids. Problem is that XW (and the kids) lives far away from any of my potential "homes" back in the home country and that I also do not want to disrupt their lives (school etc) too much by taking them to my parents etc. I can't take them here to NA either due to similar restraints, so I guess I just have to bite the bullet on that one, just like I did between mid-December and mid-April this year. But I do have an understanding employer so I am given one trip every six months to see my kids, so I'll use that to at least see them a couple of times before moving back next Summer.
