So many times when some one posts here about family members not wanting a man to wear a kilt, it seems so obvious that there are other issues at play and the kilt is only a manifestation of them, and a somewhat superficial one at that.
I really don't know enough about these other issues to give advice, and don't know that I would presume to if I did. But I will say that perhaps objections by family members to a man's wearing a kilt sometimes show that it's time to take a look at family dynamics, and how we respond to them. Sometimes we need to discuss what is really going on, rather than acting out our issues. Sometimes we need to learn to set boundaries. Sometimes we need to move to the other side of the world to get away from psychotic family members and then go into years of therapy to repair the damage they have done.
