Wouldn't moving far away make it difficult for your children to see their dad? And even tho you think he is a lousy role model
right now, you did say he was a great dad and he loved the kids.

Being separated from a parent is a huge deal to kids.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
