Hippies? Love em, respect em or let em live in the forest?

My family is dominated by powerful women who truly turn up their noses at the hippie way. Tie dyes, free spirit, music, love, freedom.
They look down on me and it has affected my self-esteem. They say I’m rebellious. I’ve been a teacher, worked for a non-profit, done good for the world, intelligent, yet fluther is the only community who listens. I dont mother the hippies as much due to fibro.
Do you think hippies have good intentions, it’s cool how music moves us, and we do have love. Or do you think like my Mom and sister?
