jtd,
As I said, you thought this through and did what you believed was best. You didn't go off half-cocked, with a knee-jerk reaction.
I think we all see things through our own filters. We all have experiences that color the "advice" or feedback we give someone else. As I said, I might not have made the same decision, but that doesn't mean either one of us is "right" or "wrong"--only the person taking the action can truly assess whether it is right or wrong for him or her. It's your situation, you made what is the responsible decision for you.
Hugs,
