Is my guilt natural?

score:1

Buddha-Dhamma & Western families are often a problematic combination. Even in Asia, some families object to their members pursing the Dhamma. Even when a person's life is transformed so much for the better by Buddhist practise, often family members struggle to attribute appreciation towards Buddhism due to their own prejudices, misunderstandings &/or lack of spiritual values.

Ways to overcome sadness & guilt in respect to his situation is:

Reflect on the correctness of the Buddhist path.
Properly attribute causes or 'blame' to the other rather than to yourself.
Keep being nice & hopefully they will change via appreciation.
