Actually, they don't need my support. I'm just not sure if I'm making the right decision. Sometimes I put myself in their shoes and think, if I brought a child on this Earth and raised him/her, then maybe I would expect him or her to be at least close to see him/her, and to help me when I get older. I'm not sure how parents exactly feel about their children, but I think they think differently than us, the children. They think of us all the time, while we think of ... us and our future. It's a one way. The feelings aren't mutual
naturally. It's they way it is. I call them every other day, and have a Skype with them once a week. But still sometimes I feel guilty. I saw them briefly just twice in the last 7 years. I think I have a better chance where I am now once I break my social isolation, so, I'm afraid of making a decision to go back home for the wrong reasons: to be close to my parents, and because I'm not currently happy where I am. Thanks for your response
