Be strong in the knowledge that you did what was right for yourself. You cannot be true to yourself and always have the approval of others.

Talk to them about the decision and why you made it. If you hurt them, apologize and move forward.

Have you talked to them about the choice you made? Did you give them a reason why? What if you had talked it out with them before you made your choice?

In life, we cant make everyone happy. So the main mantra is to be happy with your decisions and if your family loves you, they too will be happy.Its also a vice versa process

Think about the decision that it is that you are making. Ask yourself how important is it. Ask yourself why would they be disappointed. Ask yourself if it was a choice that they made, would you be disappointed in them for making it? Talk with them about your choice or decision. You don't know what they will feel unless you are honest and talk with them about it. If you feel you can't then perhaps incorporate a trusted person to help you speak with them.

Probably most people would feel worthless, I would too. But then I want everyone to think about it. Who made the decision? You. And you had many motives so I don't owe anything to anybody to make me feel worthless.

If it were something serious, like getting pregnant or getting in legal trouble I would tell them. It would be hard and scary but very necessary to keep me safe.
