I didn't see it coming part 2

"To which she replied, 'If I have to move out, I'm taking the kids with me'. "

Don't ever let her threaten you with the children again. If she pulls cr@p like that you have to put your foot down and tell her that she will not use the children as leverage. That it is an issue between you and her and that she will not use the children as pawns. State again that you and the children were not unhappy so you will not be moving.

Don't give in to the fear.

My W did the same thing. Said the same thing. So I told her the same thing that if she was unhappy then she should leave. She moved that day. She also said she would take the kids, so I told her that we would be splitting custody and that I would set the terms. Which she agreed to.

Sometimes you have to remember that you have a pair in your pants and you can't let your W threaten you all the time. Don't live under the guise of fear. If you're afraid of her taking your children, get legal counsel so you have that card in your pocket.
