The Toll

[BigZ]

She told me I can have them and she'll see them on vacations. She asked me if I'd consider moving to her state at a later date, and I told her I'd consider it, but how it affects the kids will be my primary consideration, not her missing them. For now I can't trust her and I have to much to lose by moving, with regards to being able to provide for my kids.

As for doing it being a pilot, I'm going to try it for a month or two. I have help at home, have the whole "Full House" thing going on with a couple of my cousins, except they're women. Obviously I will not be gone as much as I was.
If it doesn't work I have a part time sim job where I can go full time and make good money. Plus there are a lot of instructor jobs in Phoenix. Its not what I want to do, but I will do it if that's whats best for the kids.

Roger that.
Well, best of luck to you and I hope everything plays out.

I just want to give my 2 cents as a kid of an airline pilot.

My father wasn't always physically there in my life. There were times even when I was really little that I wouldn't get to even talk to him (not his fault, but my biological mother was batcrap crazy - still is).

But he kept working to hopefully help us have a great life. He always paid our child support. (Little did he know my mother wasn't spending a dime of child support on us but that's besides the point)

He always WANTED to be there. He never stopped loving us.

I respect the hell out of him for what he's done. I always understood, even when I was young that he was doing the best he could. Being gone is just part of the deal.
