This is a really tough situation and you're right in thinking it's not easy. You're asking her to add an hour of travel time on to everything she likes to do in order to online in a place where she doesn't know anyone and is unlikely to make any new friends. I only know American cities from movies but the suburbs there always look incredibly boring to me.
A few people have said it and, as much as I disagree with landlordism in general lol, I think renting your place out and moving into the city is the best option for everyone based on general fairness and where you both need to be regularly.
OP my dad was an addict and did this to my mom. Every time their relationship got rocky, boom, “accidental” pregnancy. For my youngest sibling, he lied about getting a vasectomy and my mom didn't find out until she was pregnant again.
My dad was a liar, extremely manipulative, and caused me a lot of emotional anguish due to his manipulations and his addictions. You're doing the right thing by getting away from him, and by keeping your kids away from him unless he's sober. Protect your kids. His feelings don't matter right now.
Honestly, it's been a month and he is running over your boundaries. Is this something you want to continue to tolerate?

When you think it’s fake you’re wrong. I made a post and people expected more. There was nothing more. Just a bunch of redditors making assumptions.
Terrifying. Go back to your 'happy' relationship
It's about the fact that she cares more about what people think than she does about her own kid.
