PS Canada is in North America lol.
What I meant was that some children lived in Canada and some in the US.

My wife thinks that a home may be a good option for her dad. She thinks he'd be better off without her constant criticizing and insults. He'd also have other people to socialize with. However, when we visited him during the time that my mother in law was in England, saying she was going to stay there and leave him, he wouldn't even go out of the house and chat with neighbors or go to church because he found it so shameful that his marriage seemed to have failed.
