I vote for lay your cards out on the table. Getting your brains zapped wont change your parents or their expectations. I dont know if it will make you more complicit to their desires? Make you forget about your desires that conflict with theirs? I was in your shoes, only i was headed for a heart attack. Ha - MI or MI? Get it? No wait - it was MI = MI, or get out. I got out, like just in the nick of time. A gf got ECT tho and she's pretty good. She does yoga and stuff, lots more than me. I would rather be me tho.
