Well, it's over...

For those following the last few years, and more recently this thread, I'll bring you all up to date.

At about 10am this morning a county commissioner granted my ex permission to relocate with my daughter the 3000+ miles to New Jersey. She'll be leaving immediately. Provided I can pay 50% of travel costs I will be allowed two school vacation visitations, and the majority of each summer.

I am leaving the board for a while...it is my feeling that after so many years of fighting I'm probably not going to be able to take this, so I'm strongly considering entering into an inpatient mental health facility rather than taking my own life or that of my ex. Good luck to those members I've known on here, and thank you all for the years of support.

Keep your chin up man. Take some time to get yourself right and keep on going. Good luck to you. Brighter days are ahead.

Sorry to hear that.

The courts just don't take into consideration the ramifications of their decisions.

Hang in there and surround yourself in your remaining family and your friends. You will need them and they will be there for you.

And, know this, your daughters will always love you and you will always love them...no matter the distance!

Sorry to hear that. Courts suck and 99% of them will screw the man in any custody hearing. Just be there for your daughter when she needs it. Let her know that she is missed and you did not want to see her leave.

Don't worry about the ex. Your daughter needs to know her dad love's her and is there for her no matter what happens.

I can't even begin to know what it would be like to lose your child like that. You have at least two things going for you though--your love/friendship with the girl in your life, and your fantastic writing ability. I can tell you that much from reading two of your posts. There will be better--and worse--days to come in your life. You must look at the intricate delicacies of them all and exploit them to your happiness. I can only wish the best for you.

I sent a PM, hope you get it.

I also would love a voodoo doll, so I could set small fires to the insensitive pricks in this thread.
