No it doesn't make you a bad mom, but I am sure many people will tell you that it does. Does it make a dad a bad dad if he decides to let the kids live with mom? No of course not. Children should live with however would be best for them.

I have to agree with Kim,Katine and tunzrok......if it's what needs to be done for everyone to be safe,happy and healthy why not if it can be worked out.It doesn't mean that the mother is a bad one for wanting to make sure she's ok especially if the kids are safe and happy with their dad.
I personally can't and wouldn't do it because her dad is an azz lol but if the mother needed to regroup and start over why not?

eyesthatknowwhy: Just asking for a bit of feedback, from cross sections - "if" a mom, who has been dedicated for her children's lifetimes, decided to say, pick up her life and regroup, live for herself for a change, sending them to live with dad fulltime: would that make her a neglectful or "bad" mom? This is purely hypothetical



Not at all. However it depends on what her kids think. One of them may hold a grudge against mom, while the others might just be glad mom left.
