You on one side and your family on the other. Is it really worth it? I know it's difficult not to express such strong feelings when we have them. Someday I'm really confident that you'll be able to do it and be taken very seriously that day just may not have arrived yet. I've read many of your posts and I respect you and your beliefs someday they will see that side of you too.

You aren't being a pain at all. I appreciate your input. I am torn in this regard. Part of me feels like I need to just tell it like it is and yet I have not done this yet because I don't want to hurt them and I hate talking with them about things like this as they are often ridiculed. Yet I also want my discision to be clear. Perhaps waiting is the best option. Thank you for your time and your kind words.
