I don't usually give advice to people who don't ask for it because I don't like to get involved in others lives. But since this is serious, I hope this piece of advice helps to make the best of the situation, whatever the best may be. I belive, that in life in general, it's not about stubborness, or priciples, principles are relative and change all the time. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is either trying to brainwash you or he himself has been brainwashed by society. It's all about survival.
