thanks for sharing man, tbh, the nervousness, the conversation you had, etc etc, trying to almost soften the blow of you leaving - i think it speaks to your character.
as a manager, i appreciate it. you can't really 'teach' this in someone... you have it or you don't.
don't feel guilty leaving, you're doing it for you and your family. if someone can't understand/respect that, then you prob should have left 'em sooner.
good luck, let me know when you're established, if i save up, i may need the hookups for an ionq5
though i can't afford one right now
