Oh wow. This sounds like much more than a simple case of travel nerves. I feel embarrassed now that I gave previous advice to take Xanax with - duuh!
To me it sounds like this is not a vacation trip; it's more of a life-changing plumbing-the-depths-of-the-psyche trip. This is no 3 days in the Bahamas to relax on the beach. The amount of compex history in this place is incredible!
Does your hubby understand the extent of your feelings about England and everything it represents? Would he be OK going, knowing it might not be a fun/relaxing trip but more of a hard work/mental "work" trip? If you're both on the same page about what to expect when there, maybe you'd feel more relaxed, knowing that he's not anticipating something very different from what you are anticipating.
If worst comes down to it, can you cancel the trip or go someplace else?
I hope this trip goes well. I hope you end up having fun despite the history of pain.
