5. What I want to say is that you do what is best for you.

What was best for me was to move to another part of the country. I am very much in favor of making huge changes as needed, but I understand that someone else's life may unfold differently.

I do think that no matter what it is crucial to keep your own life in clear focus. It's not whether you relocate or not, but that you do what is best for you. Do not sacrifice needlessly. Do not give up your autonomy just to keep peace. Your life will extend far beyond the time of your divorce, and of your children reaching adulthood. Never forget that.
