Dealing with really unsupportive parents
Advice needed!! Don't know who else to ask b/c haven't announced yet to anyone!
My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year and a half & we love each other like crazy! We have an awesome & happy relationship. We are so excited to have this baby.
My parents have never accepted him because I have a bachelors degree and he hasn't finished college yet and took some time off to work because he was not sure what to do yet and he doesn't have the funds to just go to school for the hell of it (like my family luckily did for me). He's going to start back at school next semester and he'll also be working.
Because my parents have this feeling of superiority to him and his family, they find nit picky things that they don't like about him and they go on and on about it and they aren't justifiable b/c it would be fine for anyone else but not for him. I don't even fight with them anymore, I just listen and take it with a grain of salt because my boyfriend has always been good to me. On top of that, I know they are just scared b/c they're little girl is growing up.
I'm now 6.5 weeks pregnant & I'm terrified how I will tell my parents since they get so emotional and rude over the smallest of things. Does anyone have any advice about what to do or if they went through a similar situation? It's so hard because even tho they bug me I love my family and I just started getting close to my mom again. I don't want to ruin my relationship with them. So scared to tell them - my worst fear is that they'll take it all out on my boyfriend.
Any advice please!!
Thank you :)
