People who rely on family are weak people

For happiness I mean. Just sayin.

 

nope you weak if you relily on a family

 

I agree. And I'm still grappling with this. I think part of it is that a lot of us are raised to feel like the adults around us were diefic, perfect people we should strive to be like. I really just recently started to embrace the fact that everyone in my family is human, and have just as many faults as anyone else, and that my life doesn't depend on their approval of what I choose to do. It's still hard though because I still, at 26, find myself second-guessing things at certain points...aaaagh. It's hard to be strong enough to say, "It's OK if they don't approve of everything that I do," etc.
