But moving away is a choice to abandon your family.

“abandon” is an interesting word choice. Moving isn’t always about moving away from something, sometimes it’s about moving towards a happy prospect. Your family could respect the action.

Sometimes moving away is abandoning your family...or burdening one family member with having to care for elderly parents when nobody else is available.

Yeah, I shouldn't have used such a loaded word.
