Re: Could you leave your kids behind?
My Aunt left her son behind for six months to stay with someone she met in Scotland. She wound up marrying the man but still. I think my cousin was maybe 15 years old at the time. She left him with his father but that was not in the best interest of my counsin. She said that she needed to do something for herself that she gave her whole life to her son and it was time for her to take a chance.

Re: Could you leave your kids behind?
I can't understand it, but my husband's ex-wife moved to PA, leaving her 2 daughters (12 & 17). She initially wanted to take them, but he sued for custody & she was given the opportunity to stay here & keep custody, but she decided to leave anyway. She sees them 1-2 times a year (they live with us since she left 5 years ago). She didn't even move for love - her & her mom moved together. I'll never understand it!

Re: Could you leave your kids behind?
NEVER!!!! I know someone who was going to move to California and leave her 11 year old son with his Dad and although he would be in good hands, I just couldn't understand how she could have even thought about it. Luckily she didn't go, but it wasn't because of her son.

Re: Could you leave your kids behind?
Did they move because they were living in poverty in their home country with no possibilities to better their lives?? If so, I don't think any of us can judge....
If you read the book "Enrique's Journey" it will open your eyes to why people do this.
If they moved to be with a SO and just left the kids behind because they were a bother, then no, I could never ever.

I worked with women years ago that came here to make money to send back to their families so that they to can move here. But, I never could.

Re: Could you leave your kids behind?
No, I could never.
My dad actually did it though. He moved to Europe for 2 years when I was 7. He now lives in FL.

Re: Could you leave your kids behind?
I couldn't do it. Right now I'm sick in bed with a stomach bug and I'm listening to DH playing with Abby through the monitor. I'm actually jealous of him right now. If I can't leave her when she's 15 feet away without feeling sad, how could I pick up and move away from her. I just love her too much.
Btw, there is nothing sexier than a daddy playing with his lil girl and if I wasn't sick I'd jump the guy when he is done.

When does love reach a point where you choose a man over your children?
Could love be more important than your child?
Could you move halfway around the world to be with someone you love and leave your kids behind?
Never
Never
Never
My children are my world. NOTHING else could ever be more important.

Nothing would ever be enough reason to leave behind my Cailen. Nothing. I'd sooner leave behind a limb.

Re: Could you leave your kids behind?
No, I could never do this. I have a hard time understanding people who put other people/things etc in front of their children. Our kids didn't ask to be born, we brought them into this world because WE wanted THEM. The least any parent can to is stick around and take care of them.
When parents divorce, I think it is even more critical for both parents to stay active in their children's lives. To pick up and leave them is putting the kids back through the whole thing again. I could never abandon my kids.
However, in instances where the parent cannot see any of this, I have to think the kid is better off in the long wrong, because a selfish is parent is probably worse than no parent.
(I am not referring to any of the situations where someone leaves their kids behind to provide a better lifer for them ro to send money home, etc. That is a whole other question).

Then again, my husband couldn't get me to move to Hicksville from my hometown.
You sound like my DH. It is like pulling teeth to get him to move where I want to go

Re: Could you leave your kids behind?
Not in a million years, for the life of me could I ever understand that!
Adult kids, who are living or starting to live their own lives, 18 and over, yes, I can understand that, but 8, 13???
What kind of a mother does that??

Never ever ever. I couldn't imagine leaving DD behind......ever. I have withdrawals the rare time she sleeps overnight at my Mom's without me. No way.

Re: Could you leave your kids behind?
I can't even go on vacation without them. I feel for people that feel they have to do it for economic purposes. It must be the hardest choice to make. I can't understand it but I've never been in their shoes (thank GOD!!!)

Re: Could you leave your kids behind?
Maybe for some of the other extreme reasons posted, but for the love of a man? Never. I can't even leave him overnight without missing him too much.

Re: Could you leave your kids behind?
never never never never never. and i never say never
i cannot IMAGINE for even a SECOND leaving my DS so i could move to another county to be with a guy, let alone another country!
when he is grown up it's a different story - but even then it would be hard. but younger than 18? it would break my heart to even consider it
ETA: i am referring to leaving my kids for love - if it was an issue of their safety or being able to make enough $$ to feed them, i might consider it.
and how did i not see this when it was posted two weeks ago?
