I am conflicted about whether or not to take a new job in another state. I am single but I have a daughter that I adopted from a previous marriage. I love my daughter and am commited to raising her. Is it possible to have a healthy, close relationship with my daughter if I only have her with me during her summer vacations. Note; she would stay with her mom during the school year. Her mom is a wonderful parent and does support my possible move.

Talk to your daughter about it. See what she feels, but don't let her make your decision for you.
You should go out for the job if you really want. Make sure you call her often and fly/drive down to see her whenever you can (easter, christmas etc.) Not just summer hols. It's not enough to see someone for three months and expect an excellent relationship with them.

Yes it is possible to have a healthy, close relationship with your daughter. If her mom is a wonderful parent as you say and she supports your move then obviously she will do whatever she can to make sure that your relationship will not be affected with your daughter. Go for the job and relax knowing that your daughter is with a good parent and that you will be able to spend time with her during her summer vacations. Just make sure that you always call her and send her letters and let her know that just because you are not in the same state and not able to see her all the time you still love her very much and are there for you if she needs you.

Most dads dont even see their own kids this much. I think if you speak to your daughter and explain exactly what you are doing then she may be upset at first, but at least you told her you will always be there for her and love her.
Maybe give her your phone number so she can still talk to you often.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do, Them summer vacations will be extra special for the both of you.
Dont feel bad. Just reassure her. Good luck again!!!

i would be unable to recollect the final time I had to make a confusing, life changing determination that grew to become into worry-free and did not impression extra advantageous than purely my own life. that's how they continuously look, huh? :) as quickly as I would desire to make purely about all those judgements I take as lots time as i will to contemplate each and all of the innovations, each and all of the opportunities, and plausible outcomes of each and every selection. I communicate it over with the persons I have faith maximum. I sleep on it. I do a sprint analyze if there is something i will analyze. Then I take convenience in the reality that I even have made the terrific, extra advised, maximum seen determination i'd desire to probable make. stable success to you as I experience that this question isn't hypothetical.

yes it would be possible. best i can say ask your daughter what she thinks. and if you do move talk to your daughter often (like every other day) and see how things are going for her. make sure you keep in touch with her and her mom so to keep a good relationship with everyone. follow yourheart mostly it will work out ok. if you move good luck!

If you are that commited to her, maybe the move isnt the right time now

Go for it, you and her mother sound like responsible adults that know how to be civil to one another.
