I agree Perna, she cannot turn off 28 yrs of knowing them vs 12 yrs of knowing me. The issue is, she has been sexually abused by her relatives. Her parents have kept it quiet to protect "honor". That led to more sexual abuses. She has been physically, emotionally, and verbally abused by her parents and siblings. She is miserable at home. She wants to escape. Yet she is mortally scared of them "not talking" to her. It is hard for me to understand this.
Is being with that type of family worth it?
