you need to follow yr heart. personally i would go, you are nt going to be desserting yr kids because they have the chance to go with you and even if they dont you are only on the end of the phone.

you need to start living yr life for you. be happy

I would go, it would be a lovely new start and although you would miss your kids they would always visit im sure and it would be a lovely escape for them if and when they needed it! and if it didnt work out becasue you missed them too much or for any reason, you could always come back! xxx

You need to trust in yourself, you've devoted your life to your children but now its time too think of you, (im assuming your children are all adults)

You have too choices:

  1. stay here in an unhappy marraige, always wondering 'what if' perhaps feeling resentful at opportunties lost

    or

  2. take a deep breath and spread your wings, take a chance of happiness whilst you can, grow and change and find you

Think outside of your own emotions....insecurity, apperhension, sadness, excitement.....etc.

Rely on the facts & view your situation as you would If it were a dear friend going through it...

What would you tell her to do?
