Hello. I am a mother of three children. I was divorced about two years ago and my ex has not attempted to see the kids in more than a year. He is an addict who is also mentally ill. The judge in our divorce put a restriction in the divorce that makes me stay in the area. He did this so that my ex would be able to try to bond with the children. He has not done this. I have been dating a wonderful man that loves my kids dearly and would be a great provider for them. I have never met another man like him. I want to share my life with him and give my children the positive male role model. Unfortunatly, he lives four hours away. I am a teacher trying to raise my kids on my income. It is not enough and my boyfriend has to send me money almost every month to make ends meet. I hate that he has to do this. Otherwise, my children and I would be living with my parents. Anyway, I could move to the area where he lives and make enough money to live fairly comfortably on our own, and still teaching. It would also give us the opportunity to date like normal people instead of every other weekend. I don't plan to get another divorce in my life. One was hard enough. Anyway, my ex will not agree to sign the papers to have the court order modified. I am trying to not lose faith. I feel that God has told me over and over that my boyfriend is my true love. I am just so frustrated with the prospect of having to move back in with my parents and having to continue dating long distance. Please remember me and my children in your prayers.
