Should I go on this trip or not?

Asked by longgone (19537points) December 1st, 2017

I have a ticket for a flight to the US on Monday. I’m supposed to stay there three weeks, celebrating Christmas with my husband and his family.

Two days ago, I learned that my dad had a nervous breakdown. He’ll be in a clinic for the next 2–4 weeks, but we’d be able to visit him daily.

I feel bad leaving the country at this time. He’s doing a bit better, but I feel like I should be home just in case. Things were bad…he was paranoid and very confused. He also seems to be moderately to severely depressed.

He has his wife and my two younger sisters, (whom I don’t want to burden either). Should I just stay home, though that’s sure to disappoint my husband? Maybe you jellies can help me organize my thoughts.
