I don't speak to a lot of my family, I've learned that there's no point they will never see another side to the argument and you have to be willing to accept that, they must make their choice and bare the consequences. Sometimes you have to learn that you can't get through to people and just because they are family it doesn't mean you have to get along or see eye to eye.

I think that its opportunity cost lost, trying to make it work for the sake of family when you could spend time with others who are more your speed
