Welcome to the forum. There are a few members here on HRT, so we should be able to help you move through the minefield of information. 
It sounds like you have given this a lot of thought, but keep in mind. I still get the odd WTF am I doing to myself moments, more so when I think of the friends I may possibly loose, and the issues I may have with my employer, And the big one, loosing my wife, and having to sell our house. If we didn't need to do this, its something we would not choose to do, Just for the hell of it.

You now have friends in this forum, who know and understand what your going through. 

If you need to and would like to talk one on one with a few of us, you can always join our irc chat. It's very rare that there is no one around.
