<p>thanks very much for all the responses. This has to be the biggest decision i’ve made in my life so far, so i need all the advice i can get. </p>
<p>"It sounds like your father wanted you to finish your education(from the conversation you had earlier). Even with the situation different, I still think you should do what he wanted and go to school.</p>
<p>My dad has cancer and has always said I should never stop my life for his. I would assume your dad would say the same to you and want you to continue living."</p>
<p>yes, that’s why i didn’t take any time off from school before, when he was able to speak coherently, since he told me he didn’t want me to stop my life to be there for him</p>
<p>As for all the other responses regarding how my mom really needs me to be there for her, that’s something that I didn’t think about but should have, especially since i love her very much</p>
<p>But I forgot to mention earlier that I was planning on only taking 2 classes at school, which both meet on Tues, Thurs, and Fri, so I was planning on coming home on Mon, Wed, and the weekends. But 1 of those classes is actually offered at a JC near my home, so i may just stay home and take that class instead</p>
