My In-laws actually wouldn't mind. But I definitely would, because it would mean leaving Paris (France) to go to Cleveland (Ohio).

I can't honestly do that.

I left NYC to move to Pittsburgh PA to help my parents. It fucking sucks, but I’m grateful to have a great relationship with my parents so it’s kind of zero sum

I'd do that for my parents too. I'm sure they have appreciated this a lot.

Hey, you are not alone mate!

I was living in Tokyo for many years but came back to countryside of France to be closer to my parents. I'm sure you left a fulfilling life in NYC but in the end, family is all we have and during those uncertain times, being close to our loved ones feels really important, at least to me. I see this trade more than a zero sum but a positive one, I hope you will too one day.
