^^^^ Exactly. Think about a leave of absence for one semester or a year. That way you could spend time with your family without having to try to study as well. When the leave is set to expire, you could re-evaluate whether it made best sense to go back to your original college, or to transfer to the local one.

While at home on that leave, if you wanted or needed to, you could find a part-time job, do some volunteer work in the community, or even take a continuing ed class at a local community college that doesn’t earn credit, and doesn’t award grades, but is just something fun for you.
