Welcome to the drip-drip feed of utter nonsense.
Even if the choice is hard, make the choice. Although it's often said that *not choosing* is also a choice, it's not the optimal one. Then you have to live with the consequences of another's choice, which may well be LESS appealing to or appropriate for you and yours.
If you must deal with unpleasant consequences, at least have some bloody say as to what they are and how they end up occurring. One always sleeps better in the bed one makes oneself, no mater how spartan or uncomfortable.
*Sigh*.
I know. But sometimes the thing you are doing seems so hideously difficult that it feels easier to opt out, give in.
If all that you endlessly hear is that 'their way' is the right way, don't you end up questioning yourself? Don't you keep on examining the problem, picking at it until don't know what you truely believe anymore?
Having looked at your more recent posts, I've more of an idea of what's going on. I can understand both your pain and your fears, because there's another person involved who's too young to make his own decisions. So you're choosing for two, as it were. Such situations are hard, and heartbreaking. My thoughts are with you, and I hope things work out for you & your son.
But don't give up or give in. Trust your gut and do what's best for you and yours. It may feel scary now, but in the end you'll know you did all you could.
