If you were about to do something that has a high possibility of killing you. Would you tell your mom / family?
I am 90% sure i will go to Ukraine to join the fight.
Currently I am living in a different country than my mom and family.
I could easily lie to them and tell them I am still working in that country. We barely speak and nobody comes to visit.
My options I believe are.
-
Telling them
-
Lying to them and facing fractured relationships upon my return.
-
Die there and having someone drop a bomb on them of my death.
For the rest of my family I don’t care that much if they know. Just my mom is a chronic worrier and recently recovered from cancer and I don’t want to stress her out even more.
I know you don’t know my full story and cannot say what to do in my shoes.
But I’m curious to see what would you do in a similar situation and how would you react if someone did this to you.
