'I can't shake the feeling that I lost my son again': Wife considers living in Kentucky while husband moves to Montana so she and her 9-year-old daughter can be closer to 13-year-old son

While they can work out just fine with the right attitude and some effort, it is easy to run into issues while being a part of a blended family. It often means that the needs and desires of twice as many people have to be taken into account when making any major decision, and it can be unavoidable that this is not going to make everybody happy. 

Being a parent who does not share their kids with their partner in this dynamic can be especially tough. At its worst, it can feel like forever having to choose between the kids and the relationship. On the one hand, somebody who marries a person who already has children has to take this into account and adjust accordingly. On the other hand, it is the responsibility of the parent to make sure that they are with a partner who will fit the needs of their desired lifestyle.
