My husband is calling it quits. . . . Now it turns out that my daughter (16) and son (12) also want to move back.
. . . I just can't imagine not being here.
But I also can't imagine how lonely it might be if my kids AND my husband left. Well, I can imagine that easier than leaving. And that's the problem. What kind of person does it make me if I'm willing to let them go without me?
I'd be choosing my own dream over their happiness. How much importance does my own happiness matter when it comes to ethical/ moral decisions like this? It hurts so bad to be this close to finally living my dreams and then be forced to choose between my dreams and my family. We disagree on so many issues and I'm so angry with my husband at this point that I don't care what he decides to do.
But I just wanted to hear some other opinions on the moral issue of letting the family go while I stay behind to try and get this homestead functioning on my own. Would you stay or would you hang it all up and go? I know for a fact I will not be happy on a soul-level if I go, however I'm sure I would eventually find some way to live a semi-satisfied life. thing is, this dream is not a passing fancy of mine, it's been with me since childhood.
