Boston Dad Need of Help Part 2

[Coconut]

I know that you said this job is significantly better paying that what you have ever made, but you need to really consider what it means to take it.

I moved away from my step-son, and it was a tough decision, but I only decided to go because he was 17 and would be going away to college in a year and a half from when I moved.

I have seen him every two months since, but even with him being so old, it is really tough. I miss out on his sporting events, have never met his current girlfriend, don't get to help him work on his new car, don't get to just spend a day with him whenever I want, and I'm not there when he could use my company. It's tough for me, and he's my step son and 17... It may be really tough on you with him being so young. Of course, you will be a lot closer to him than I am, so if you get a good amount of paid time off from your new job, you would be able to do a lot of those things that I can't.

I'm not saying you should or you shouldn't move, but consider how much of his life you'll miss if he doesn't live with you.
