Truean has a point. a breakup is hard, no matter how annoying the situation, when you're dependent upon your parents. And there's the fact that they're still your parents. You likely don't want to break up with them either
Thank you. Another thing to consider is what happens concerning your other relatives, especially the kids. I'd rather die than have my nieces and nephews told all gays are pedophiles and I'm gay so....
@Truean: It's not about breaking up family because you disagree with something, it's about realising that the concept of "family" is people who accept and love you for who you are rather than the circumstance that you happen to be blood related. Then being true to yourself, because if you can't be true to yourself, you're never going to truly be able to be truly there for anybody else.
BONUS: Don't Panic. "If it's out of your control, or already happened, it's not as big a deal as you think it is. No exceptions. Worry never improved a situation, ever." If you can do something to improve the situation, then try doing it. If it works, great. If it didn't work, you tried to make it work.
I really wish I knew how to take your advice. I know you're correct, but I worry like hell.... I'm good at coming up with answers, but I have none. That scares me.

Moving mountains with my mind and nobody gives a fuck.... Taking on named partners, with a full staff, at a firm that deals with nothing but this type of law
by myself! I happen to know they have, without the slightest exaggeration, 4 lawyers and 7 clerks opposing me by my lonesome on this god damn case! AND I'M FUCKING WINNING, but it's still not enough to please some people... [shiver]. Is the winning against crazy ass odds not good enough?
Did I mention yet another client showed up to the hearing for his drug trial totally strung out? I really don't see what the flying crap I can do when that happens. "Gee Your Honor, I ... um.... would you believe he's not high right now...? No...? Would you pretend to...? Please?"
If I again hear "can you just do [insert thing here]?" it'll be yet another straw on my back with plenty of company.... The fuck did I go to law school for...?
