"So in reality nothing has changed and I am no further forward in any direction."
I think having OM still in the picture keeps the R "stuck."
I know what you mean baout missing your family, it's always hard to understand how they don't feel the same way.
I'm glad you had a nice trip & met some great people.
It may not seem like it now, but some of that clarity will likely have an influence on the course your R takes in the future. Putting yourself in a different environment has a way of doing that.
