    Leaving husband
    Am I wrong for leaving?
    I left my husband 3 years ago due to a crystal meth addiction. To this day he still does it. We have a 4 year old son together which he has nothing to do with but his family sees once a week. He has had 2 more children with different women since I left him and he doesn't take care of any of his 5 kids. 2 he had before we were together. I have a career opportunity in Florida ( I live in Philadelphia). Am I wrong for moving? I have full custody of our son since 2006 so legally it's not a problem but I'm worried about taking my son away from his fathers side of the family. My parents live in Florida and their going to help me out when I start this new job. I just feel guilty about moving my son. I think he will have a wonderful life in Florida, he has always been my number 1 priority! :confused:

    You do what is best for YOUR child, and your life. You should move, I think it would be best

    This is an opportunity you shouldn't turn your back on.

    You have family in Florida, they deserve to see their grandchild too.

    Go for it. :)

    With all the electronics stuff available now, you can send them photos, videos, do phone calling, IMs, Twitter. etc. to stay in touch. I too say go for it!

    He doesn't care about his child while he's close. What a shame. Maybe one day he will get clean. But for now, all he cares about is getting high( and laid apparently). Meanwhile, go start a new life for you and your son. I wish you all the luck in the world. GOD bless you.

    Don't stick around for your husband because drugs rules his life and that is all he cares about. He doesn't care about you or his kids.

    You have to do what is right for you and your child. His parents might be upset but they will get over it and understand the life you are trying to build for you and your son.

    Go for it!

    We all agree, go start your new life it can only be better than what you have in Philly now.

    I would be very excited about starting new and I suggest that you get your child excited also... a new life for the two of you.
