lunkerbasshunter Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 3 years is a long time to be away from your child. cheers!
Pigeontroller Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 Rich, you should now have an easy time making this decision
Rich Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Posted August 1, 2009 My child has been taken with his mother to Nova Scotia so I'm missing his life anyway... NOT my choice.
trapshooter Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 What would you do? Never, in a million years, would I leave Ontario for Bermuda.
camillj Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) If you do have a child and said child would not be accompanying you to Bermuda then I would not go. You need to be around for sure. If the child goes with you then go for it. Sorry .. missed that completely ... ditto here bud ... nothin can buy back the time with your younguns ... but if thats not going to happen becasue she took em to NS... jeesh .. tough call ... One old trick is to flip a coin ... heads you stay tails you go .... BUT ... while the coin is in the air .. ask yourself which way you hope the coin lands ... that my friend will be your gut talking .... and often worth listening to Edited August 1, 2009 by camillj
douG Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 Rich, between the lines I hear some heartbreak and misery. We've never met, but I know you will do the right thing for you. If access to your genetic inheritance is an issue, fight it, and then go do the butcher thing. Good luck to you.
pameladallaire Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 I know it's good to talk about it, but maybe you shouldn't listen to any of us, and do what your gut tells you to. Pam
pigeonfisher Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 My child has been taken with his mother to Nova Scotia so I'm missing his life anyway... NOT my choice. Go to Nova Scotia. Being a father is your choice!
Spiel Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 Go to Nova Scotia. Being a father is your choice! Amen Steve.
Rich Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Posted August 2, 2009 easy to say when you don't know the situation at hand
Spiel Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 easy to say when you don't know the situation at hand True enough. But without knowing the details I can only go by what I know as a joint custody father of three. I wouldn't trade any paridise in the world for being an involved father.
jediangler Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 Sounds like a chance of a lifetime to me. I'd be packing my sunblock.
wiggler Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 I would say go for it!! You'll kick yourself if you turn it down. Besides....on holidays you can fly back here and go fishing for a week or two.
pigeonfisher Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 Go to Nova Scotia. Being a father is your choice! Okay...I stand by the above position; however, I have been presented with a case of sircumstances that make this situation very different than what was initially presented. Rich has been dealt a deck of cards that not many of us could deal with. He has proven to be a stand up man during a time that many wouldn't.
pigeonfisher Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 True enough. But without knowing the details I can only go by what I know as a joint custody father of three. I wouldn't trade any paridise in the world for being an involved father. This should possibly be posted as a general rule somewhere. Even when making a decision on a fishing lodge...hahahaha It may not be applicable here though.
Kenny G Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 Go now and don't think twice Rich. I am older now with kids and hardly have time to piss let alone go fishing. When I was a young lad I should have travelled more. So get going and you won't regret it. Cheers, Kenny G.
Gerritt Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 tough break man.... I am a firm believer that all women are messed in the head... anyways.. sue for access to said child.. then live you're dream... whatever that may entail. G
brkygetr Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 After reading all the posts and not entirely knowing your 'specific' situation I would say that Norfolk is your home. As I said in an earlier post I had the oppertunity too move too cut meat and sometimes I did and sometimes I didn't, as I look back on it now I can tell you for a fact that the best move I could have made was NONE at all!!!! Stay where your at and wait for a manager position in Ontario. Cutters are a lost trade and if your good enough to be called to go to Bermuda then your better than most out there. I've done this Rich. There are benifits to not taking a job, trust me. Send me a PM if you want and I'll let ya know all about it.
