One thing that worries me is that my father has his own life long issues with depression and anxiety. Very serious issues with it at times actually. If he didn't have this I would agree that this would / could be a passing mood for both of us. But with him there's the chance that he will slide into another mini nervous breakdown, he's had more than one over the years. It's selfish to worry about it for my own sake and not his but that's really the LAST thing I need right now

Thanks for the encouragement though!
