Is your family dependent on you for any kind of financial, caretaker or medical support? It would be good to do a reality check of their expectations of you compared to what you feel you can do. Peace Corps is many ways is designed for members of the upper middle class who can afford to give up two years salary and whose family is not dependent on them. Some families can afford to travel to visit their Volunteer, many can not. I would explore, first, exactly where your family is coming from, and then proceed. Being able to listen and checking assumptions are two critical abilities to being a successful Volunteer. Best of Luck!
