I figure I owe this one more try, because it does affect the entire family, with a huge ripple effect.I hope this isn't to blunt for you, but: BULLSHIT!
It only affects people who choose to be affected by it. That clearly includes you. I'll bet there are a bunch of people who don't give a shit. Probably including some poeple you think you're doing this for.
Stop doing things because you're worried what other people are going to think. If there's something you want to do for yourself, knock yourself out. If it's for someone else, tell them to do it themselves. You do anything other than that, and you deserve every bit of pain you get.
