I need help with a major decision

Well to start ive worked construction/remodeling my whole life basically. Was making really good money for a while past few years after leaving the last place its been bouncing around trying to pay the bills including multiple jobs at a time if it wasnt for the financial situation I was in right now I wouldnt consider it but I have a opportunity at a company to get to making great money. But its a traveling position like nationwide travel possibly gone multiple weeks at a time they dont do the one on and one off or 2 on 1 off its sometimes a 2 on and few days home then back at it.

Now thats not always the case but its a possibility. having a family around i just dont know what to say its finally a opportunity to get out of debt and pay my bills but I also want a carreer that I can stick to again. I want to do it. But have this fear or lump in my throat about it. Not the traveling or the work.

I think its the uncertainty im facing about it the questions of is this the right call to make to basically pick up all I can carry on my back and be gone for weeks. Im not one to talk about these things usually cause im good at handling emotions but ever since getting the offer I've had a knot in my gut and brain in shambles over it all trying to not break down over it.

Because its not just a job its a lifestyle change i am struggling. All the misses holidays, milestones, things at home. Ive always been the one when theres a family emergency im there to help been that way since I was 15 and now if I take it my life entirly changes.

Also I just know that this community while all fun and games plenty know so many struggles and walks, that someone knows what to say or advice that'll help.
