nickname Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Here's the deal. My parents have banned me from seeing my boyfriend of almost a year now, just because he is black. We are both completly in love and talk about being together in the future also. I am getting ready to go to college and need my parents financial support to get through. They pay for my truck and everything else that I have and need to get around. They have told me numerous times that they will take away everything from me if I continue to see him. I did continue to see him even after they told me not too, got caught once but nothing really happened, and I still see him just about everyday. I hate that I have to sneak around to do it but if that's what it takes then that's what I have to do. He has been strong and very supportive through everything and it is amazing that our relationship can be this strong when we really can't go out and do all the things that "normal" couples do. Does anyone have any advice that might help? Link to post Share on other sites
ChristineNL Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 1Tell ur parents its your life! u choose who to be with! I think ur parents r thinking they're protecting u from a black guy cuz they think black guys r criminals!..(Bad reputation? Rasiscm?) try to convince them they r not all like that! Let them know how happy ur with him.. How great he is.. and this way they're making u UNhappy! Tel them if he turns out to be bad or whatever (I hope not?) its your responsibility.. ut old enough to know whats good for you and what bad! 2Maybe ur so madly in love with this guy that u cant see his fauls? and u parents can?? Its all up to you Good Luck! Link to post Share on other sites
GirlDown Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 and that might be good advice depending on how old they are. Link to post Share on other sites
kellybelle Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Your parents are trying to do what they think is right for you, even if we all disagree on their logic, try to understand that first. Your boyfriend sounds supportive, I hope you two can make it until you finish college and have a beautiful life together, if so - he will wait until you and your parents are all ready to accept him. You have a few years to work on your parents in the meantime, to get them ready for the idea of an interracial relationship in the family. Link to post Share on other sites
