[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Wow, I didn’t expect such polarized responses. To answer some questions: my husband died suddenly a little less than a year ago. My girls were 9 and 11 at the time; they’re now 10 and 12. I’m absolutely not “prowling” or trying to date anyone. For the past 11 months, I’ve been the sole parent all day every day, while also holding down a demanding full-time corporate job and grieving a life changing and devastating loss. I’m completely burned out, and the idea of taking a few days to myself in London sounded like a much-needed break. My girls aren’t interested in long flights and said they wouldn’t mind me going for a few days. I’m not trying to abandon them, which is exactly why I came here to ask the question. I knew this could be judged, and based on some of these responses, I see that it is. You’ve all given me a lot to think about. Thank you.[/quote]
