[quote=Anonymous]You clearly are only looking for validation for your choices and not honest feedback. It was not selfish to move away, you are allowed to live your life. But you are out of line if you expect other people to fill in for you so that you don’t have to deal with the guilt of leaving your parents. Those other family members who lived nearby were under zero obligation to disrupt their lives to care for your father when you weren’t there. And what kind of ‘emotional support’ were you looking for? They probably resented that you got to live your day to day life on the other side of the world and yet expected them to entertain your stubborn. You certainly could have left your husband and moved back for a couple of years, if brought him with you and left his family to care for his elderly parents. Why were you able to leave your ailing dad all alone but it’s unreasonable for your DH to leave his parents? You weren’t selfish, but neither were the others. [/quote]
