Need advice for possible LONG DISTANCE commute

I was recently offered a job over 1300 miles away but I'm not going to
move there. I want the job and my family understands, but I've never
been in a situation with a "1000-mile commute". I have one
six-year-old. This job would allow me to save money so I can spend more
time with him when he's older. I know people that have done this
successfully, and I live very close to the airport so I won't spend
more time flying per week than I currently spend on the road.
Nevertheless, I will be away on weeknights but there's a theory that's
not worse than working late on weeknights? But of course this is
perhaps an awful way to go about life.

Advice?
