After leaving my (very conservative) home, and going back every so often and talking to my family, I think this is it. Especially for the older ones, I get a sense of regret from them that they didn't live how they wanted or couldn't do what they wanted. Since they don't want to blame themselves and/or the culture, they blame their vilified minority du jour. It's sad really. Going home and talking to my parents always just makes me sad about how I can tell they have some pretty big regrets about taking the "expected" path.
