my husband and I are getting a divorce after 18 years of marriage, we are on great terms and it is by no means anything hateful at all we just fell out of love many years ago and its time to move on. We have tried it all but we can't get it back.My husband works overseas often by choice and will be home in august but only for 30 days. I have a job opportunity ( on the other coast) that will enable me to start new financially and I want to take it but my son 17 does not want to move out of state with me because he wants to stay in the home he knows and the same school and I get that. My husband told me to go ahead and take the job and he will figure out what needs to happen as far as my son for the six months he will be overseas again. My love for my son says heck know your moving with me and so be it for six months but my husbands says he is almost grown and he will take care of what needs to be done. I am not talking about support here but the six months only, we will both support my son for college and in life that is not an issue, what should i do
I am not sure what to do here, please help!!!!! have any of you ever been in a position like that?
i want him to move with me for six months then if he wants to move back when my husband comes home he can but he does not want to move......I dont know how to handle thisDivorce coming but husband going back overseas need huge help?
Hmm. I've never been in this situation, so this is just my advice. My first instinct is that if you're on good terms with your (soon-to-be) ex-husband and you TRUST him when he tells you he will take care of your son... let him take care of your son.
I would fear that pushing your son to move will actually only push him away from you. Letting him stay doesn't mean you don't love your son. It means your son is almost a man, and you trust him to make good choices and to listen to your ex-husband.
Now, if you actually and honestly feared for your son's safety, then by all means, move him and don't take no for an answer.
Good luck.
