Ya know Mindful, one thing to think about is that if you relocate your kids will have a lot more upheaval than you may want. If you want to stay anyway, I suggest it may be better to stay where you are in the same house if possible. Your thoughts about co-parenting? It can happen. It sounds like he would like that, but hang on for a while until the D is final. And change your expectations - he won't parent them like he did or in a way that you would approve. You should let him parent the way he will and let the kids take him to task for it. They need to establish their own relationship with him if they choose. If you interfere it won't be good for the kids. My opinion. Europe would be a good idea. You should take that week and go...
