And still, undecided

I kind of announced to everyone that I was going to Houston for the summer. But, now I don't think if I will go down that path or not. I kind of feel obligated to go now, since I have anounced it and all! But, I know you can't make a decision based on that fact. This is my life we are talking about here! And it will affect everybody around me.
A friend has pointed out some things about my decision, which might help me... She said first of all you need to get out of that house and stop being so scared. Second, you make decisions without involving your children(gosh, I didn't see this) And third, you might be making the biggest mistake of your life and you will distance yourself from your children.
She was harsh and had no sympathy for me. And on the other hand it made me have second thoughts about what I'm about to do.
