Dear D:

“Your thoughts on my struggle. If I haven’t been clear, just ask. I don’t mind directness either. There’s a lot more to this matter but I’ll share if needed“- from your organized, well thought of original post, I can see that you gave the topic a lwhole lot of thought, for a long time, you see the bigger picture and your thinking is balanced.

You concluded the following: “I have to do what’s best for me… (I) know that taking care of myself benefits everyone involved in this matter“- reads logical and reasonable!

“I feel guilt and worry when I think of leaving LA… I have to do what’s best for me“- what’s best for you is not only to not to get stuck in traffic ( (I know, I lived in LA most of my adult life), and to live in a quieter place, and to spend less money on living expenses .. and to not suffer from guilt. Can you elaborate on your guilt: what is it about?
