Guilt is a subtle but (sometimes) weapon used by people to hurt or control others.
Go through a checklist; will leaving harm anyone- or just leave them lonely for your companionship? Are there responsibilities that will shift from you to others when you leave, leaving them with a burden that should be yours- in other words do others have to unfairly pick up work or duties that are clearly yours? Are you leaving something important undone that was up to you to bring to a conclusion?
Ask yourself if you have done anything to hurt these people- other than wishing to relocate. As long as you are harming no one you have nothing to feel guilty about. Millions of people relocate every year. One of our friends cried when we told her we were moving, but she understands it is OUR Life and OUR Future OUR Decision.
You can't be made to feel guilty without your consent. If someone tries to send you on a Guilt Trip don't pack your bag for them
