Tough one! Especially when we take into consideration that we are all on our own unique journeys from who we are to who we can/will/want-to be. Dont want to be in your shoes.

Thats true.. when parents remember that their children are on their own journey as well, then respect and growth happens.

The fact that you are still discussing on this board is because you are unsure of your decision. If you were convinced about it you would have just left for India chup chap..... .:cool:
