[quote]You went house hunting and took a step toward a future for you and the kids. Great job!
That said, it seems clear you have no PLAN.
You went house hunting 200 miles away...so how are your kids going to commute? Are you thinking they are going to live with you 100%?
And then, why would you tell your KIDS you are looking at this house? And then why would you ask if they want to live there with you?
I think its great you went out and took some action. But the action was for you. It seems crazy to me to drag your kids into the middle of you looking at a place 200 miles away while you are in complete limbo.
