Help What do most families do if you fail your CTB attempt?

[goodlifer]

Ive scheduled my CTB and now Ive been thinking about possible outcomes. So I thought, if I fail my CTB attempt, whats the chance of my family abandoning me or just being weird with me for the rest of my life?

I was lucky enough to have my family by my side after my attempts. I hope the same for you.

Great to hear that it worked out fine for you, but If I may, were they like in any way weirded out that you tried to CTB?

I think there isn't one set answer for this, sadly. How your family responds is dependant on a lot of things like the cultural environment your family is raised in, traditional values, degree of adherence to those values, and the individual family members themselves. For example, an asian family may be more likely to shame and express disgust or dismay at the individual who tried to ctb because of their long held value of family lineage and honor, and interpret a ctb attempt as a sacrilege of the family. A well adjusted american family may express sympathy, confusion, concern, and clinginess to the individual since the idea of family typically isn't viewed as sacred in western culture, placing more value and consideration for the uniquity of each individual family member.

To be honest it completely depends on your family. My parents and some extended family knew and never really, brought it up or cared when I still lived with them. But a friend of mine told his parents he was thinking about ctb and they like, cried, and hugged, and talked and everything and he started going to therapy pretty soon after that. It really depends on how close you are and their beliefs and etc.

I wouldn't say they were weirded out (I'm talking about what they chose to show to me ofc), but way more protective and alert, which ended up having a great toll on my routine after a while.
