I think everyone's family thinks they are mad for giving up meat until they see you will be ok and live a normal life. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

good for yoU!<br><br>
honestly, i think resentful families make us veg*ns more resiliant to staying veg*n

 

[piratemoon]

Well done - if you go well with it then they will become more supportive. I think I have had more grown up coversations with my folks since going veg*n than I ever did before.<br><br><br><br>
Good luck!<br><br><br><br>

You are so right...I had so much backlash from so many people but the one who really made me question veganism was a vegan.

Congrats! Every new veg has to learn they are doing it for the animals not to please their families. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

Isn't it such a weird reaction when people get MAD? I can understand a mother getting upset, thinking her kid isn't going to get the nutrients he/she needs; or someone getting annoyed thinking it's another phase; but they pick anger. It's such a strange emotion to choose.<br><br><br><br>
And hi, welcome. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">
