It's good to let it out. While I'm glad that medical issues got successfully taken care of, I'm sorry that the bills are doing their number on you. That really, really sucks. :(
And life is so weird. I'm in the somewhat odd opposite situation. I have a tendency to be of a rather traditional mindset, so I've never really pictured myself moving away -- I always saw myself as sticking around and taking care of la familia, what little of it there is. But at some point within the past year, as my mom was just talking about things, she said something along the lines of "and I'm doing blah blah blah because you shouldn't be hanging around to take care of me when I'm old." It was just an offhand statement, nothing expecting any sort of reply, but I was too taken aback to say anything anyway. And there I was, for the first time, really having the question of where the hell I was going to go with my life shoved into my face, because I'd always just assumed... And for me, I think it really was... sort of an inadvertent slap in the face at first, because it was, like, "...but. So. You're just expecting me to... go away? So am I really expected to be that useless?"
I really admire your devotion to your family. Because you do have a choice, and you're really looking to make the one you feel is right. And I hope that things turn out to be all right for you all.
Hahah I'm not even sure I think of it as a choice lately, man. Like it's just "This is what is happening; this is the best solution for all involved, so this is what needs to be done." Any other option at this point in time just feels BAD to me, so.
Thank yooouuu, I hope it does too. \o/ MAYBE THEY WILL WIN THE LOTTO OR SOMETHING EQUALLY MAGICAL.
