Not what you want to hear, I am sure. But there it is. You're free to do as you like, as are we all, but let's not mince words.

This is a time when we could all use the advice of an older, wiser mentor of sorts, an older sibling or some friend of good character or even a clergy member. (Too bad we don't usually get such counsel these days. Those who do are truly blessed.)
