Dear John

By Pauljohnson - 29/08/2022 02:00

Today, my wife packed the kids up and left for Idaho. I found a letter saying that she misses her paranoid schizo dad and brother, and that she misses me when I'm at work, but can't stand me when I'm home. She is now 1700 miles away, and I'm here alone. FML

I’d frankly call the cops as she’s knowingly taking the kids into a potentially dangerous situation

Sometimes there is no good ending for a situation. But there is often a best time to make a move… My brother and his wife had problems in their relationship for years. At one point she left him and took the kids with her to live near her birth family. Then would have been the perfect time for my brother to file for a divorce based on abandonment. Nobody would have judged him for that. Eventually my brother’s wife moved back. It was probably a year or two after that, my brother was having an affair and got caught. Then his wife filed for divorce… It probably cost my brother more in money, real estate, and some degree of humiliation more than if he had filed for divorce when his wife left him a year or two earlier. It was essentially the same result in the end but at a higher cost. OP think carefully, people don’t do things like this unless they are deeply unhappy. Can that ever be mended? Only you and your wife know that. If you believe the marriage is over either now or later then take steps to protest yourself.

file a kidnap report. she can take the kids anywhere in the state but not across state lines. she will have to return them or authorities will go get them on her dime my mom found that out the hard way when she packed her and my sister up with a week's worth of clothes for "vacation" and we found out she never intended on coming back, she was off with some dude she met on the internet

Hate to say it but that sounds like she's not really into the relationship. Missing while gone but not liking when you're there? That's a load of bull. I'd strongly think about filing for divorce and using this as the reason. Even if things had been smooth before this, this feels like a big red flag. Granted it's easier to say get a divorce as an outsider than to do it when in the middle of things. With my ex I knew it wasn't working when I was Happy she was gone so much and left me with the kids bc it meant my home life was smooth sailing and there weren't fights over stupid things. So I strongly suggest you search your heart and I have a feeling it might be leading down that path like it did for me.
