Nothing in Common with my Adopted Family

Hi Michelle, Welcome... I doubt I have any advice to offer that will solve the problem. How far away do you live from them and how often do you see them? Have they ever tried to understand the differences and have you tried to talk to them about it? Sometimes just not accepting their judgements can work by politely turning it around can help. I appreciate your suggestion but it does not fit my goals in life. I accept that you wouldn't do things this way but it is my preference. Thank you for the advice but it really does not feel right for me. I understand your judgement but still choose to do this my way. I would appreciate your support in my current endeavor. Kind regards,Dickons
