I know that is what you are saying, I hear you and again, it's not shocking and please don't be hesitant to say how you feel.
You need a break, you are not abnormal, if you need a break for months and want to organize care for him, then that is what you need.
What I see you saying is that hey - I can't handle this right now and need help. THAT to me is unselfish, that is looking out for him and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, in fact it is the right thing to do.
