[quote=Anonymous]It may be helpful to think of what you think would be the opposite. You don't leave. Your family has to fend for themselves. You take extended leave from work. You do everything you think they would want you to do. What would that look like? Most likely things would fall apart. Resentment might build. They might not appreciate your sacrifices over time. You might find you actually enabled them and are right back where you started when you can't take another second. There are no easy solutions, but you just find the balance of respecting their choices and letting them know your limits and accepting the situation stinks, but it is what it is and you cannot set yourself on fire to keep them warm.[/quote]
