I'm about to go into a "family discussion" with my mom and my sister.  My mom wants to discuss/lecture or whatever you want to call it about how my sister and I are living our lives.  Apparently we're not respecting our family values.  There are expectations from us and we're not fulfilling these.  And so far...if we don't like it...as my mom as been telling us...we can always leave the family.  That was part of the pre-discussion....a taste of what to come as you may call it...it'll be interesting to see who takes the first step into my sis and I leaving the family...it'll come down to a choice, and it'll be very difficult for me to hold back from getting cut off...I'll keep you posted as to the conclusion of the "talk"...
