I for one know this effect all to well. I will be relocating the first of the year to Wheeling, WV to continue to provide for my family. As a father you must do what is necessary to insure that your children are provided for and are provided a better life than you were. If a person hopes to remain in the coal industry the only choice is to relocate. My guess is in the next 2-5 years you will see a mass exodus of people leaving the coalfields of eastern Kentucky to seek work. It's just the Obama world we live in.
