Anyone have issues with guilt?

I was out of town for work Thur-Sat.  Friday night, I went out with some friends after the work related reception (wine and snacks).  It ended up that we didn't eat dinner and went for beer and kareooke (sp???).  I slept like crap and then went to catch my flight.

Needless to say, I didn't feel the greatest.

I landed at home and had 2 messages, my g'ma who is in the hospital may have had a stroke and my mom who has been dealing with all of her health care is in the ER with high bp and pulse and chest pains. 

I feel awful, my family is falling apart, I can't go home to see my mom because I just got back to see my daughter.  I feel guilty that I live away from home.  I feel guilty that I was out having fun while everything was on the brink of falling apart.  I feel sick this morning.  My mom is doing better, it is anxiety and not a heart issue, but she is really falling apart.

    Why can't you take your daughter with you to visit your mother?

    It's a long drive and my daughter gets carsick, plus I would need to help my mom with my G'ma at the hospital, so taking DD, I wouldn't really be able to 'help'.

    It's not an easy position to be in, but I think you need to ask yourself where you "feel" you need to be. Do you have a strong relationship with your mom? Does she depend on you? Does she draw strength from you when she needs to?

    I think if you go and help your mom, you'll be setting a great example for your daughter.

    I agree with this.  She is your mom and if you can swing it, you should be there with her.  (Note - I have no idea what your relationship with your mother is, I am just going on my personal relationship with my mother.)
