They have never been to school. They’ve never said anything about wanting to read. But when they have to read something, they pretend they forgot their glasses or smth like that. They’re insecure about it. I feel sad for them. That said, they’re pretty stubborn. What can I possibly do to convince them to try learning?

    My family are the kings and queens of refusing to do things that will make thier lives better. I have learned through bitter experience that there is no helping anyone who does not want to help themselves.

    Without knowing your family member there really isn’t much useful that anyone can tell you.

    I recommend that you find a way to maintain whatever level of relationship you want with that person that insulates you from their “issues”.
