<human>: Hi, /r/relationships!

Link to my  [original post!] 

First and foremost, thank you all for your opinions. I got a lot of really nice comments and PMs, and even though I couldn't respond to every single one, I read them all. In typical /r/relationships fashion, I got a few people telling me my family was super toxic and I should cut them off because it's completely unreasonable to be afraid for your loved ones when they head off into a war zone. Those people are dickheads, but the rest of you are AMAZING. 

So, I took the job. Most of my family still doesn't know, but the people that do have already begun to come around, acknowledging that yes, this is an amazing opportunity even if they're not so thrilled about my future country of residence. So I'm going to go and try it for a few months. If I hate it, I'll quit and come home at Christmas, if I don't, I'll stay at least a year. I am excited and terrified and curious, but at the end of the day, I think this will set me up for a lot of really exciting things down the road.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Realized the only thing stopping me was other people, so I took the job and am hoping my family still loves me after this. I'm elated and terrified in equal measure.
