It was a contented replace, with OP saying the household of 3 is preparing a “small Holiday,” “to get away from the tension we have been underneath,” with plans for additional journey sooner or later.

On the other hand, OP admitted to nonetheless “feeling pretty conflicted and accountable more than this though I do know it is the precise choice it just would not make it easy.”
