My husband and I moved to FL from KY last year. We left all of our family and friends behind including 4 minor children ages 13-17, that did not want to move, so we talked and decided to let them stay with family. Our 2 year old son did come with us. Since moving I have became severely depressed because I can not bear being without my children and family, I miss them so much. My husband on the other hand loves it and says he will never go back, even to visit. We moved here because we had to sell our house and he said if he had to start over it would not be in KY. He promised we would go back for Christmas and if any of the kids needed us for anything we would go right back to help them. Well, that does not happen, he is so happy here, that is all he cares about. I have said I will go back without him but he says he will not allow me to take our son back, and trust me I have called several lawyers and they all say the same, a judge would frown on and more than likely not allow me to take our son back to KY. I just don't know what to do. I can no longer take the pain of missing my girls and I just wish my husband would see that I am slowly dying inside!

How could any mother/parent just up and leave their children no matter how old they are? It seems to me your husband doesn't even care about those kids. They are minor children and should not have had a choice in the matter of moving across the country with their parents. That is what's wrong with society these days; kids are taking over and making up all the rules when it's the parent's responsibility!!

That being said, you chose to leave your own kids behind and now you're stuck in FL because you cannot take your 2 year old across state lines without your husband's consent. I really feel for you and this mess you are in. I hope something good will come of it. You can, at least, make your grown children move to FL. It's not their choice, it's yours..........as their parents!!

My advice to you is to find a better lawyer. There's nothing wrong with missing your family and other children and wanting them as part of your life.
