Absolutely, go if you want to. You need some help and not to hurt yourself caring for someone who is not caring for you.

Sorry, confusing to me. Is this man your husband? I do agree, if you want to go go. I think you've done enough.

So go to Iowa anyway. Don't let him hold you back. You deserve relief from caregiving.
