It is great to read everyone's situation... I am not alone at this. I am still new in the preparing stage of making this transition. I have only told my adult kids and of course I hear the same as always. How I am going to miss out on their lives and their kid's lives. I think my biggest issue is the guilt trips everyone hands out. I have always wanted to travel the world and they all know that but I don't think they really take me seriously. I am very close to my mom and have mentioned things but haven't even told her the whole story yet. She would rather pay my bills than see me doing anything like this. She just can't understand that I need this. Years ago, I was almost murdered by the father of my youngest and I know it has changed me but it never changed the needing of seeing the world and my photography. I know everyone will worry and that guilt kills me sometimes when I think about it. As for my dad, I am not telling him until the last second. He will not see this as I do as freedom, he will see this as a homeless bum on the streets. My family doesn't understand that living in a van with no worries of financial BS is something that I really need. I can't live in this big house without worrying every month. That stress is killing me. I hope I do have the strength to tell them all when the time comes. Right now I am just letting them think I am crazy making plans and obsessively clearing things out LOL. Thanks so much for this post. It really did help me reading everyone's dilemmas and knowing I am not the only one. HuggZ
