Title: family problem
Post by: Alisha on September 08, 2013, 08:30:00 AM
How do you make your families understand and accept you? Do you push it or just wait until they accept you by themselves? Is there any tips and tricks?

No two situations are a like so there is no simple answer.

So for now instead of worrying about what to do to change them think of what to do to pace yourself and practice. Show resolve, confidence, and progress.

Now if you have the time your friends and family hear will listen to your situation.

I don't talk with my family. Its been years. You cant make anyone understand anything. The decision is if you want to be you or do you want to live under the expectations of others.

If you decide to be you. Well them your going to have to simply do that regardless of what other people think.

There is nothing easy about it. Simple as that.

Actually I don't mind if they don't accept me. I just don't want them to be sad.. seing my mother tears is like a thousand knifes stabbing my heart..

Usually I avoided any argument with my families. I believed that action is more important and effective than talking. In 10 years, all of my families understand and accept relatively well. People are far intelligent than I initially expected. And, love is more important than accepting or understanding. They know well that I love them.

I know that feeling and tbh you cant make them accept you. So what I just do is never bring it up and try keep my mom seeing my changes as much as possible essentially "giving her more time" to deal with this.

Actually the only thing that makes me sad is the fact I don't have a family. But hey I took that as part of transition. Would I ever go back to have a family? LOL hell no.
