Hi Oshiro and all, It's so nice to know that you're on my side!LOL
My family had been making me feel very guilty of not living up with their wishes and expectations...:( I was some sort of a black sheep in the large family who was also the highliest-educated among other relatives then. Everyone,especially my dead father expected me to be a successful businesswoman who could expand his business abroad... Even though I have a good sense of business because of his genes, I didn't feel happy while working in trading companies as an emplyee or later owning my own import & export company... It was a long and winding road following my own guts to be a teacher and rmarry a foreigner... I often remind younger people who have the same problems with their families that it's your own life,and no one else but you can make yourself happy!!!;) Life is really much too short to waste on living others' dreams!
