Thanks for the response. That’s a pretty drastic move for me to make. My culture is very family oriented and more than feeling that I have a sense of duty to be there for her, I know that I have to be a support for her. It would be selfish on my part to abandon her. But I do feel stagnant in that my friends around me are creating their own lives while I feel like in some ways the only story I have to tell is my past. My entire life I’ve always put others before me and in most cases, I’ve let others make decisions for me and that’s never worked out for me or those around me. Maybe I do need some distance to really focus on my life but honestly, it scares me. I wonder if I do it and I end up regretting it and hurting her at this late stage in her life. Maybe I need to be stronger in what I want for myself but I feel like it’s an unnecessary fight. I shouldn’t have to fight so hard to be able to focus on myself, that energy should go into me achieving my goals.
