[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 17 month old, Work full time and so does my husband in a demanding job. Dad lives 4 hour drive away in a rural, run down area with nothing to do. I really do love my dad, and I haven’t seen him in months, and[b] I said months ago we’d come visit before Christmas.
[/b]
I’m just so tired and we have so many commitments right now (with in laws, work parties, etc). Trying to fit this visit in feels too hard.

[b]Dad can’t come visit us because he’s having surgery soon and has a ton of medical appointments.
[/b]
Making this visit happen will fall 100% on me. I’ve Already been struggling lately with exhaustion, anxiety, and some depression. It just doesn’t feel possible to do this right now.

I also hate my stepmom and her adult kids who all live near my dad. But she isn’t abusive or anything.

I love my dad, I truly do but i just don’t want to squeeze this in right now. Is it ok to just not go?[/quote]

These two factors were the clinchers for me--you said you'd visit, and he's having surgery soon.  Yes, you are busy and tired.  But you should go.  [/quote]
