Sometimes you need to put yourself first. it's not a guilt trip its something you are looking forward to and if you cancel then it will be them who should feel guilty.
If you find this unbearable, (But you shouldn't) offer to help with the extra payments if they are struggling.

I am opposed to being the bank of mum and dad but have become that bank anyway. Even helping my sister out and for me wife any wife, that is above and beyond the call of duty but she stands shoulder to shoulder with me and does not bat an eye lid. Damn she's one good woman
