When I said good luck with that I was completely serious. It may have sounded like it but I was not trying to be sarcastic or rude in my post at all. If you feel that this is what you need to be more fulfilled in your life than great and it's good you are finding the strength to work through this.

I can't speak for anyone else but I don't feel you have betrayed us in any way shape or form, you are being true to yourself.

Seriously good luck man, it's tough but could be worth it. You've chosen the path less troden.
