moving away

My children's dad is moving away soon. Apparently its a really good thing (for him, my children aren't happy). He wants to discuss plans (his I presume!) which probably means he has a list of things he wants to dictate... Obviously my children are not happy about him moving away - he's already said he'll now only see them during school holidays... not sure how much as he hasn't commited to anything.

Also, it leaves me in difficulty (a little) I was offered more work, which I will now have to turn down as he wont be having the children during the week or weekends at all.

I am a little surprised that he's chosen to move away, I'm even more surprised he thinks its all ok....I don't think its good for my children!

Has anyone else been thru this? Is there anything I should do, expect, dodge?!

I have no family around me, not really sure how I will manage to do everything on my own... and I'm not really sure how I explain it to my children... I cant think of a way to pretend its all fine... they are old enough to realise he's making a choice...

Any advice greatly appreciated

Men can just walk away.

It never ceases to amaze me how they just expect the woman to pick up the pieces and do all the childcare.
How far away is he moving
My ExH moved to Europe.
Nothing I could do about it.
I do have family and friends around though.
Why do you have no family around you?
Can you move to be closer to them to get the support you will need.
