[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you living in different places? How far apart are you—how many hours by car?[/quote]

I posted a lot last year. STBX lives overseas (fed), and I had no chance of separating while there. It's ~12 hours of travel. He's just been promoted but tentatively plans to return to the US a year after the promotion is official. I don't have that kind of time. [/quote]

Are you out of your f^ucking mind? You realize you will never get your kids back if you send them to live in another country. At that point, you operate according to the country's laws where he lives. Do not do this if you love your children. If you are done with them and just not willing to admit it, that's a different thing. [/quote]

I just feel totally screwed. The CS covers rent and my daughter's preschool. My smaller child's daycare will be $700, plus phone, gas, electric, fuel, incidentals (of which there are NONE now). I had to scrounge to feed us for several days before I got food stamps over the weekend. It is dire.

I am heartbroken to think I about living apart from them but [b]I am worried about my ability to afford care for both of them while I get on my feet.[/b] [/quote]

You are way overpaying for childcare when you don't have a job. When you get interviews, you pay for a babysitter. You need to be living and working in DC, not MD. You moved all the way there for COL, but now you're out in the middle of nowhere trying to make it without any support. Your friend sounds worthless.[/quote]
