Just wanted to give you some food for thought: I was in your position a couple years back and I actually went with it - I drove and drove until the sun came back up again, leaving in the middle of the night without a sound. All I left my family was a note saying "don't worry about me, I'll call in a few days". I never returned. Things have never been worse with my family now, I lost touch with all friends, and the worst part about it, a lot of my issues followed with me. Trust me, better to work it out than to run because you'll be in the same crap, just a different pile in a little time.
