My husband has a business and he is happy here and so are the kids. the 11 and 12 year olds would move but the 14 year old would be upset. Dads in remission and my mom is ok but getting old. My brother lives close and is the caregiver but his wife is maybe getting a little upset inside that we have this great life in Dubai and she is feeling maybe they would be the ones to help why we are so called having this nice marriage and family here with alot of nice benefits here. We are happy here but Dave is working really hard. I am epileptic . I dont even drive. Everything is really nice but then Dad got cancer at 80. I feel soooo guilty that I am not there in calif. to help everyday. I just got back from being with them on a 2 week visit. I left my family and did it with my familys support. Dave said I can visit back and forth. Its kind of expensive., but its my Dad and he only has maybe a little time.I feel I should go pretty soon again in a month and help. I cant think of anything else

Hmmm that is a tough one. As a person who has seen older people such as your father get cancer at an older age, I would say go there now by yourself without kids and husband and use what time you have left to spend with your father(In other words rent a place there for as long as you want or stay with your parents if possible). I guarantee you it will be a great experience, it will not be always a happy one but in the end you will be satisfied because you will emotionally develop to understand life better and you will appreciate it further.

You should go stay for more then 2 weeks when you go see your parents that is your dad and the only one you will ever have so you should be with your parents, and spend time with your dad because if you don't you will feel guilty and that guilt will just eat at you..

Tough decision...
Sounds like you need to spend at least several months
a year with your parents...
