should i feel guilty if i left my mom for work?

what's the conditon of your mom rigth now? if she's already in good condition and is just really needing for a rehabilitation then go. there's no reason for you to feel guilty. because you've just decided to leave because you are thinking of supporting her and her rehabilitation. but then before you leave, make sure that you have someone to look after your mom's condition. and even if you leave, make sure that you always have a communication with her and the one who is taking care of her.

If the rehabilitation can take adequate care of you mother, you should not feel guilty about leaving her care in the hands of professionals. And your decision to take a job that will support her in her rehab is a responsible one. Just make sure you stay in contact with her as much as possible. Make sure she understands why you think it is necessary to make the move, and that it will benefit both of you, and that you are NOT abandoning her. People make you feel guilty because they are afraid that they will be alone, but if you do your part to keep up the relationship, with phone calls, letters, gifts, and visits whenever possible, you should NOT feel guilty about this decision.

Guilt will always be there. I left my dad when he was operated for a tumor on his prostate. But I was lucky because the rest of my family, relatives and friends where there to watch over him. My dad just said to me jokingly "who will watch over you?" because he also knows I'm suffering from a neurological sickness too. If it'll help support the expenses of my family, I immediately took the offer to work in Japan for a project. I felt heavy in my heart and I felt lonely. Also my neurological sickness kept on hampering. Good thing I was with good friends and some of them happen to be doctors and we stayed at my home in Tokyo. It's never easy to leave anyone who is suffering weather it be a loved one or a total stranger. I guess some people can but I can't.
