Hi Hockey,
I think many of us who have been sidelined from life and feel a burden to our loved ones have had the very same thought.
Have you had a talk with your family about this? Just laid everyone's feelings and thoughts out on the table?
You may feel a burden but, they may very well not want to live without you.
Is it possible to have any scheduled time apart? I can generally see when Iam really bugging my husband and he is getting to the end of his rope with me...I just go stay with a friend or go on a little trip...one time, I just went to a little guest house an hour away and spent a few days alone and thought about it.
Honestly, I know my husband needs his space and I try to give it to him.
Maybe go visit a friend or family member for a couple weeks and ask your family to think about what they truly want. Also, is it financially feasible....that is often the toughest part.
I understand how you feel and please know, I've been there too. Give it time, give it thought...don't make any emotional or hasty decisions. I found counseling with my husband to be very helpful.
Take care, D.
