I realize my life doesn't fit me at all

Question

I don’t know what to do anymore. I used to have a wonderful life in Canada, but I gave it
all up because I wanted to come back and help my parents, since on one hand I felt guilty
about their unhappiness in life, and on the other I wanted to earn enough
money to have a roof over my head that belonged to me, simply because at
the time I had no chance of achieving that. Today I am
waking up and realizing my life doesn’t fit me at all. I am caught
in a net. I started a business to earn enough to return to
Canada and buy a house there, but it isn’t working. All I want
is to drop everything and go back there, start over from scratch, but I would be
in deep shit here because of what I owe. I no longer want to live against
who I really am, but I don’t see how to do it. What can I do
to get beyond all this and recover my real life, the one in which I am myself and
happy? I am sick of waiting to reach it.
Thank you in advance.

Answer from Master Kosen

Go to Canada, find work there, and pay off your debts from there. Your parents will be happy if you are happy. They can visit you once a year; it will give them a chance to travel.
