[quote=Anonymous]I'll second the PP-- it's ok not to go. I totally understand feeling like you need to be there for her- I'm in the same sort of situation myself. My mother lives hundreds of miles away, and there's no one for me to stay with when I visit. Money is tight on both sides. It's a struggle feeling guilty for not being there for her (I'm an only child). But you have to take care of yourself. Think about how you'll feel when you have to leave your mother. Will you still feel just as awful, except this time, on top of that awful you've put yourself into a precarious financial situation? If it's not enough just to think of taking care of yourself, think about taking care of your DD. Do you have the resources to take care of her in an emergency? It's totally awful, and in an ideal world you wouldn't have to worry about money. But you do. [/quote]
