Thanks for your kind words. I truly appreciate it. I do plan to take my time and inform myself. Not going to make any rash decisions. Just had a really tough morning emotionally. That darn emotional roller coaster from hell.
I guess I should clarify my concerns about my moving my son. It is not the actual moving part. We are a military family and have moved every 2-3 years for his entire life. My problem is with moving him away from his father and that I would have to leave the country and that would mean taking him very far away. I have also been single mom enough times in my 21 years as a military spouse that I am very aware of what that sort of separation is like for my son and my husband. Despite the fact that Dad is an alcoholic he is still a good father and very involved in his sons life. Just felt I should explain that a bit more clearly. I know that in many cases of alcoholic parents that is not the case. I know I am very blessed that is not the situation here.
