Hello

Needing some advice please

Two boys live with there dad 17 and 21, they moved in with there dad when we divorced as iit was local to there schooling , didn't want to take them out of seniors,and the job I had in different area I couldn't get them there on time in mornings or pick them up ! As I was half hour away so we decided they stay with there dad mon to Fridays ! And I had them Fri night to Sundays nights and every half term etc etc
Over time cos of there age having mates and girlfriends , they stopped staying over but I see them every Saturday or whenever I want to be honest it's never been restricted.
I couldn't afford to stay in the area where there school was, too expensive to rent , it's all been amicable, everyone been happy etc etc

My eldest now works full time and my other son at college

The issue !!
I have an opportunity to move with work , better pay etc etc but it's three hours away ! Also cheaper rent etc .
I am currently half hour away from my boys now , what do I do !?

I haven't spoken to anyone yet regarding this ! As don't know what to do.... my first thought was no, no way , but then I thought should I go for it , then I think no not leaving them ...

I’m moving once my youngest is 18, I cannot afford to buy in the area I currently live. My youngest will be heading to Uni though, and eldest will be 21 then

Wish you and friend all the best.

I reckon it's easy to misread how an online thing comes across, I imagine OP just thought they could type in friend's query without overthinking linked threads etc though it would be obvious to regular users.
