I can relate to this. I always believe that our family is one of our lessons. Eg. Drawing healthy boundaries, taking a different path that they want you to take or simply living your life in your own terms. Some family esp parents think that they own their kids, that somehow their kids are obligated to repay them for bringing them up. This mentality only alienates and push them even further. Well done for drawing the line. It must have been liberating 👏👌
  

 At the time it was tough, but now I look back and it was so worth it.
