When Love and Parenting Commitments Collide: Feeling Stuck Between Two Worlds

I’ve finally found someone who truly makes me happy—after years of friendship, we’ve been together for almost a year now. The catch? He lives an hour away, and while our time together is amazing, neither of us can move. He’s built a life he loves in his town and has been burned before by giving up too much for past relationships. For me, my kids are my world, and I share custody with my ex, so relocating isn’t an option. I feel torn between my heart and my responsibilities as a parent. Has anyone else faced a similar situation? I’d love to hear your advice or stories. Please share your thoughts below! #ParentingStruggles #BlendedFamilies #CoParenting #FamilyRelationships
