Due to be away with DH, DC (4 and 8) for half term. DF (late 70s) was admitted to hospital over the weekend with suspected heart and kidney failure diagnosed in some routine checks. They live a few hours away, I came down as soon as they admitted him and have been at the hospital for a few days with DF and DM. He’s been sent home today with new meds, AF under control and seems to be doing well. DM struggles to cope with any kind of stress and is now feeling unwell herself with anxiety type symptoms.
wibu to get an early train home tomorrow and a flight out to meet the kids tomorrow evening for the last few days of holiday? Kids are fine but are missing mummy and expecting me to make an appearance at some stage…
For context I work full time in a pretty demanding job so time with the kids is precious … but feel like I’d be leaving DM in a situation she’s struggling to cope with to go on holiday which might make me a terrible person…
yabu - to consider leaving
yanbu - things are under control, spend some time with the kids
