Unsure of what to do in this situation... what do you think?

My mother-in-law is very ill (she lives abroad). Currently she is in hospital and has been in and out of ICU over the last couple of days.

I am due to compete in a well known half marathon this weekend - this would mean leaving DH on his own with DS for 2.5 days and be about 7 hours away by road.

I feel that I should really stick around to support DH but others have suggested that I am being melodramatic and should get my butt up north to complete the run.

I know there is nothing I can do here, except to be there for DH and I seriously doubt anything is going to change over the weekend.

What would you do?

Speak to your DH and ask his opinion. Say that you're more than happy to give the run a miss and stay with him but is that what he wants/needs. You should be able to gauge by his reaction if he genuinely wants you to stay.
