Getting past the guilt of hurting others.

I think this is one of the major barriers for me. How hurt the people left behind might be. I remember very vividly my mum saying that if anything were to happen to me or my brother her life would be over too. :(

The sad reality is no matter what you do it's going to hurt them. I told my mom recently that after the custody hearing I very much have decided that it's time for me. She broke down a bit but she told me she knew.

I think the only thing you can do is tell everyone you love them one last time. I do think for most people if they choose to stay their life will get better, but because I'm in a position where I've been running on empty for years I can't speak for what you do... I just hope that you don't hurt anymore.
