HI Margie
My mum is 80 yrs old and my sister is 16 yrs older than me and I feel very guilty about leaving her to look after her.
I too often lay in bed at night thinking about it and I get very upset.
I also know mum will never come and visit me but I've told her I will be coming home as often as I can and that I am only a phone call away no matter what time it is.
My sister has been very supportive of my move though I do feel an underlying feeling of resentment or maybe that is my guilt.
My mum says shes just wants me to be happy but is in denial about me going shes doesnt want to talk about it.
I too also wonder if I am doing the right thing but like everyone else says we have only got one life, one chance i'm 40 col is 45 and I am going to Australia, we have to do what we want to do or we will regret it later.
My biggest heartache is how do I say goodbye to the woman I love more than anything in the world my mother.
NO one can answer that question.
Kay :)
