Sharing Our Innermost Thoughts

Never in my whole life was i a relationship kinda girl,i always put family first a few years back i met someone who is really nice actually understands me, kind and mature and always good at giving great advice at the same time the gap between my family grew i stayed in another city to study and i would never get phone calls because they miss me they were always calls of guilt tripping me ,them trying to let me do what they want and if i reject they’d say mean things some words which are really hard to bear…and then my boyfriend gave me nice advice assuring me that i can say ‘NO’ if its something I don’t agree with but the ‘family comes first’ mindset is somehow still embedded in me
And i am still scared to say NO to things I don’t wanna do or agree with…
