@redemption I'm sorry you're in such situation. I'm not going to talk about what you should or shouldn't do, as this is a decision that really only you can make.
But what I can suggest is that if you have any doubts about doing it, or not sure how you feel about how people will react (as you mentioned), it might be good to step back, and take a moment to think about it. Review your thoughts, your fears, your options.
It is good to think about the fears and feelings you may have, so in that way you may find a bit of peace and reconciliation within you about your decision. And I hope you find the peace you wish for, no matter how.
